best treatments for fibromyalgia
can someone with some knowledge and experience please tell me what seems to be the best treatments out there when it comes to dealing with fibromyalgia?
i am still trying to gather information on which is better lyrica or neurontin, and i am also told they are the same med? any truth to this?
any advice on how to deal with flare ups would be just great also, at this point i am up for anything new that may help...
depression, flare ups, everyday pain, fatigue and feeling like 120 year old in the morning are my biggest problems as of now, any insight is appreciated...thank you!

Good news. Dr. Paul Cheney and another physician (can't think of his name right now) say that klonopin is not addictive.

yes, i have had blood work done...exscuse me if i am wrong about the name of the test i had, but i had the ANA (?)test for lupus, which was negative.
it seems the b vitamins are essential for a lot of things...they are supposed to be good for people in recovery also...thank you for your suggestions...

no i dont take anything for supplements, just a multi vitamin...should i add magnesium and calcium along with the multi vit.?
could the klonipin that i am taking be causing toxicity in me? would this be enough to cause a flare? see, thats why i need your experience, from all of you, i have SOOOO much to learn...i remember reading about toxicity...but guess i would have never really thought of it concerning my current meds...
i was told by my doctor that cymbalta is good for fibro sufferers, which is why i take that? any thoughts?
oh how i would love to drop the klonipin and try the natural remedies...i really dont like the fact that as an addict that i am on an addictive med... i take nothing for the sleep at night...i have no problems falling asleep...its staying asleep that kills me...i wake up about every 2 hours...UGH!!
i have been thinking of tapering off my klonipin so i can see if the anxiety is still there or if it has gotten better...the only way to know this is to try...
and yes, i do challenge my doctor...which is why i am here...she has wanted to put me on neurontin for months now...but i said no, not until i research it every way possible and make sure i am not getting myself into trouble again...i simply cant and wont do it again. at the time i submitted to the klonipin...i had gotten so bad i had to do something drastic and quick, and i was aware of the consequences, but i hope by staying on such a low dose, that i will be ok coming off it...
and NO...i do not want any more addictive drugs...which is why i have basically just been suffering on through the flares and pain because i am now afraid of pills that are for pain. already been there. done that...i would rather feel pain than take another addictive med.
thank you so much for your input i appreciate it greatly...
