A member asked:

Tramadol as long term treatment for fibromyalgia? cymbalts made me miserable. cannot afford lyrica, (pregabalin) am already on neurontin. is this viable treatment

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comments: Tramadol is a lousy intervention if you indeed DO HAVE fibromyalgia. The most successful agents include gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella (milnacipran). Suggest Concierge visit to discuss additional approaches.
