I have had a time lately getting my meds straight. Everything I try for pain ends up giving me terrible side effects. Here's what I'm on now:
Depression: Lexapro
Fibromyalgia: Neurontin (just started this, not sure how it's going to work)
Pain: Lortab, Extra Strength Tylenol
Anxiety: Ativan (as needed)
Ulcerative Colitis: Asacol
Endometriosis (stage 4): Having hysterectomy in March but taking bcp's now & Lortab
Migraines: Fiorinal
Meds I've tried:
Depression: Prozac, Celexa, Paxil, Effexor, Elavil (yikes, allergic to this), Lexapro
Fibro pain: Vioxx, Skylaxin, Bextra, Indocin, Naprosyn, Robaxin (none helped)
Pain: Darvocet, Percocet, Lortab
I'm really struggling here with pain. My doctor doesn't believe in giving narcotics for fibro. They tell me to exercise, but I physically can't. I have a sciatic nerve problem and exercising not only aggravates the fibro, but the nerve pain too. I'm hoping the hysterectomy will help with some of my pain.
