CYCLOBENZAPRINE vs GABAPENTIN

I have been in pain management for 2 years following a bad mva. Ive had 5 surgeries, have surgery #6 in a week and a half and surgery #7 at the end of December. My current rx is 20mg a day of oxycodone (I only take 10-15 and am saving the rest for surgery in 10 days), 10mg a day of cyclobenzaprine

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) in December 2023. There are 200+ symptoms and comorbidities of fibromyalgia varying both in number and intensity from person to person. I'll share with you what I know. It's believed that FM is neurological in nature, caused by problems with the nervous system.

https://ir.tonixpharma.com/ I can’t help but get my hopes up for this drug I’ve been keeping watch on for years. He goes into so much detail for all of us curious. He does seem absolutely confident in FDA approval August 15. Expanded the workforce massively in preparation. Drug would be aimed for Q4

I find it to alleviate my back pain, but I wish it penetrated deeper into the area by the bone. Works great but I just don’t like the heavy sedation.. wish I had a Analgesic drug along with it. Best I can do is poppy seed tea. I know where to get dope but I don’t mess around with that anymore. I nee

I need to vent and also get some feedback from people who have knowledge on the subject. Going a little crazy here 😅 I have lupus, fibro and Raynaud's. All formally diagnosed. Also have depression and ADHD. I'm on cyclobenzaprine for the fibro, venlafaxine for depression, hydroxychloroquine and NS

All 3 referrals I've had so far resulted in denials, on 900mg gabapentin 3 x daily, duloxetine 60mg per day, naproxen 500mg 2 x daily, cyclobenzaprine 10mg 2 x daily. Drink 3-5 shots a night and smoke and vape 50/50 weed thc and cbd mix throughout the day to keep me sane. Have to lie down for hours

I've been on Norco, cyclobenzaprine, and gabapentin for my severe neck and back pain for a significant number of years. It's the only thing that let's me function and continue to work. My pharmacy like others has been out of Norco for months, and only because my wife had recent surgery did I become

I need to feel like I’m not crazy. I was diagnosed with fibro about two years ago. Underwent quite a few tests including an EMG to rule out other things. Currently taking gabapentin to help symptoms. But along with the pain I get so many muscle twitches. Kind of like when you get that really annoyi

Today my boyfriend of a year told me he doesn’t think I should be taking my opioid pain medication any longer. I have had chronic pain for 18 years, have tried every single thing I could think of, that was recommended to me, have had multiple surgeries, and ended up with CRPS in my right hip/thigh.

I'm going to share my story and what I've found does work and doesn't work for me. Feel free to ask questions. And feel free to comment with your own journey. I was diagnosed at 23. I went to Disney world and on the second day I woke up and couldn't walk. I was in so much pain. My legs and feet wer

And the only fibromyalgia drug in existence as far as any of them know is gabapentin, but gabapentin makes it so you can't feel your clitoris.

I had my monthly appointment with my PM doc this morning. I brought up the new drug that has just been approved by the FDA and wanted to get his thoughts on it. He said and I am quoting him pretty detailed here; The drug has only been approved by the FDA for acute pain only, as in post surgical pa

I work in a pharmacy, which is honestly an awful environment if you have chronic pain and fatigue because I'm absolutely killed after every shift, but honestly it's the attitudes of my coworkers that really cut deep. Right now, I'm not taking any opioid medication, but I did in the past and it's rea

So over 3 years ago now I had a very unpleasant situation occur with my pain doctor at the time.

I was hit by a fckn truck. I’m being as positive as I can be. She went on to say that she got better from her accident using positive thoughts and yoga. I wish I could do yoga. I’m in physical therapy with a goal of hopefully being able to do yoga again one day. No essential oil ointments don’t help
