Hi, I am new to this board! I tried a lot of meds for the pain that started 8 months ago with the birth of my son. Recently on dihydrocodeine 60 mg with Synap Forte in the morning and evening. I am on Venlor Xr from the beginning after he was born. They wanted to put me on Trepiline with Cymbalta for the fibromyalgia. The Trepiline made me groggy and not very useful when your child is teething. I am also to scared to change my antidepressant. The doctor recently put me on Tramadol that I must alternate weekly with Synap Forte to avoid SSRI's syndrome(still use dihydrocodeine with it). I took the Tramadol 2x100g at once the first day( I can take 100mg x2 per day), because the one did not do any thing. The 200mg worked ok for 2 hours and the pain was back. This is my fourtth day on Synap Forte and I feel like I can kill someone and feel very anxious. Could it be the Tramadol or Synap? What medication do you find relieve from and do you use something for breakthrough pain?

Hi Zelda,
As I posted to Jordan B. In Feb 2008 I began taking probiotics for fibromyalgia, my shoulder pain went away the first day. In Mar. 2008 I began taking systemic enzymes, by June I was totally pain free. I don't know if you notice if you have flares after what you eat but I do. Stay away from sugar and flour. By the way my fibro started after the birth of my daughter. I began having strange symptoms from the first day I got home from the hospital.
