I've been suffering from fibro since I was approx 16yrs old. I'm now 30, and feel as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I have two children, 7 & 11, and I feel like such a failure as a mother because I'm so limited in the things I can do. I'm taking Tramadol and Gabapentin and they take the edge off of my pain and fatigue. I tried Lyrica and I found it helped but my doctor told me that I wasnt allowed to take it with my tramadol and gabapentin. After a while, I gave up on the Lyrica and swithced back to the tramadol and gabapentin. I don't know where to turn now. My doctor has only been practicing medicine for a few years and isnt very knowledgeable about chronic pain management. I feel as though I'm living a wasted life and death would be more preferrable. I take celexa and risperdal for the depression my fibro has caused. I wasted my 20's in the house on the couch or in bed. I feel like the Lyrica combined with the gabapentin and tramadol may have been a good combo for me. Has anyone else taken this combo together? My friend has fibro and she takes these 3 meds together. Does my doc even know what she is talking about?View Thread
