Poll: What meds have helped you the most?

Thanks, Julie, for your response.  I have an appt. on Monday with the fibro group as I decided to go straight to see them and not waste time going back and forth to my PCP as was suggested.

PM
Mirapex for Restless leg syndrome (plus magnesium/iron/folic acid supplements---good ****tail my rheumy says) (To increase dopomine--I think).  My rheumy thinks my fibro is from RLS.  I don't know if it is all from it, but if my legs are moving I am not sleeping deep enough and muscles are not resting and healing themselves correctly.

AM
Welbutrin--to increase seritonin (I think) and make my brain say happy things instead of pain things.  It does help, but doesn't take it totally away.

Tylenol to take off edge if I can't handle it.

I also see a chiropractor and massage therapist sometimes.  Stretches, walking and water classes help if i don't push too far. 

Hi I also have herniated discks and back problems and am being given nucynta 75 mg and embeda extended release. I am coming off percoset and oxycodone and they worked well but as you say to avoid liver problems my doc is changing me to these. I have 2 questions one is were you on percoset or oxycodone if so did the switch help are these really better. And secondly how well does the extened release embeda gets absorbed in your system I had a Roux N Y. And am interested in knowing if the extended release releases as its suppose to or is absorbed quicker or slower. I hope you can help with these questions.
