I was just reading article about Fibromyalgia treatments and it stated patients have been given antidepressants that help with pain etc. Seeing sometimes MS has such similar symptoms as fibro I was wondering if anyone here takes antidepressants for MS and if it helps ?
I take Paxil and Neurontin and neither help the Fibro. I took Cymbalta and Lyrica and wanted to dive under a truck. Neither helped, so they put me on Lortab as I am allergic to other pain meds.I still hurt but don't care as much.
I take Wellbutrin and it relieves a bit of my hands sensory pain. I can't tell daily but when not taking it I;m miserable. hth
I used to take cymbalta and I think it helped more than anything I have ever been on for pain
I take Valium for muscle spasm and Zoloft and wellburtin for depression My MS do wants me to stop all but I have other health issues and my psych and reg doctor said she can go jump in a lake I take Vicodin for pain because of back pain related to back and knee joints problems
I think thry're probably talking about Amitryptyline, which is an older antidepressant, or Cymbalta, which is relatively new.
