Fibromyalgia Medication
Fibromyalgia medication is a mixed blessing for suffering patients.
Pain management drugs
are the most common treatments given to most patients. These drugs do nothing to cure the condition; they merely help to make the disease more livable. Unfortunately, most of these drugs have damaging side effects and health risks. It is crucial for patients to learn the complete facts about all the medications they are using to control their
fibromyalgia pain.
Prescription Fibromyalgia MedicationsIt is interesting and informative to know that NONE of the commonly prescribed drugs were created to treat fibromyalgia, nor are they FDA approved for fibromyalgia treatment.* Anti-Depressants such as Paxil (paroxetine), Prozac (fluoxetine), Endep (amitriptyline), Cymbalta (duloxetine), Aponal / Adapine (doxepin), Aventyl / Pamelor (nortriptyline), Zoloft (sertraline), Effexor (venlafaxine), Serzone (nefazodone). * Muscle Relaxants such as Flexeril and Cycloflex (cyclobenzaprine), Carisoprodol, Skelaxin (metaxalone), Robaxin (methocarbamol). * Benzodiazepines help to relax muscles and induce deep sleep. Klonopin (clonazepam), Valium (diazepam), Halcion (triazolam), Restoril (temazepam). * Analgeisc Pain Relievers such as
Vicodin
(Hydrocodone), Percodan, Morphine, Ultram
(tramadol),
Oxycontin,
Percocet,
Naproxen
Fibromyalgia Medication for PainMost patients are in such agony, that they are willing to try almost ANYTHING to find relief. If the doctor offers them a prescription, they will gladly give the medicine a try. Many patients will not consider the negative effects caused by many of these powerful drugs. They will merely hope to find pharmaceutical pain relief, regardless of the cost to their long term health. I am not blaming the patient. They are in pain and desperate. I would like to see doctors spending more time to explain the health consequences and risks of these fibromyalgia drugs. I would like to see the drug companies working harder to eliminate the side effects. Best case scenario, I would like to see medicine get off the wrong path when it comes to fibromyalgia diagnosis and treatment, and discover its true causation…Fibromyalgia Medication RealityDrugs will not cure a psychological condition. All medicine can do is bury the physical symptoms under a disguise of a cure. If the drug is stopped, the symptoms will return. This symptomatic treatment simply perpetuates the long term suffering of the patient.Fibromyalgia is usually a psychologically induced pain syndrome. The cure for the condition is not pharmaceutical drugs, it is knowledge therapy. Learning what causes the pain is the only way to truly cure it. I have seen thousands of fibromyalgia patients permanently banish their pain without drugs or other medical treatment. Knowledge therapy is the key to their complete recovery. I HAVE NOT seen ANYONE recover from fibromyalgia using drugs… What I have seen is a descent into further suffering, drug addiction and health complications due to the effects of these powerful prescription medicines…
