What are you taking and is it working for you?

I have Fibromyalgia and work at a pain management clinic as a physical therapy assistant. Sounds like the perfect set up right?

Unfortunately, the PM physician won't let me work there while on narcotics, and the PT that I practice under, believes that Fibro can be cured with exercise.

So, I see my general MD for my fibro.
I have tried Cymbalta- made me exhausted and didn't work on pain.
Lyrica- made me swell and gain weight (also made me loopy)
I was just put on Neurontin today. I really hope that it works
I take Xanax for anxiety, as needed

What works the best for me is Lortab but no one will prescribe it for me because "they" feel that it helps but ultimately makes the pain worse when it wears off.

I guess that means I have to EXERCISE!!! Damn it! I barely have energy to breathe sometimes...
