Getting very depressed-tired of hurting

I know how you feel. The depression has been one of the worst parts of Fibro for me. I take a combination of Savella, Lyrica and Amitriptylene. Right now it seems to be working pretty good. I still wear out really quickly, but the pain is better (of course it is always'there') and I seem to be coping with life for the most part.

I hope you can find some help soon.

I'm having the same.   I'm newly diagnosed and the doc says to make sure I let her know if what I am taking isn't helping.    I've been taking it since late January.   It helps most of the time. 

My hands also hurt, I can't open a diet tea bottle.  I have to have help from my husband or the folks at work.

I'm taking 60 mg Cymbalta, but I really think it is the lyrica 300mg that made the difference in the pain level.   Of course, it also caused me to gain 10 pounds since January.

Weather changes seems to make mine worse.  Today it is raining and I'm eyeing my purse thinking about taking a vicodin.  It's hard to walk without pain and the bones on my face are killing me.

The doc told me Effexor or Cymbalta.  Lyrica or Sevella.

Good luck.
