Re: Doctor visit and new meds - Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

,

I would think your doctor would taper you off the Prozac slowly. You

have been on it a long time, and I don't think that would be a good

idea. I was also on prozac for a time, and I would slowly go off it.

I am on neurontin for neuropathy pain, but I've heard it helps fibro

too. I do have fibro, and I still have the pain. But, I've been on it

for awhile, I am going to try Lyrica, if the doc agrees on the next

visit. It needs to help my neuropathy pain though, because its very bad

in my leg. It really DOES help that pain, love it for that.

If you have any problems going off the prozac, please contact your

doctor right away.

Good luck,

Tawny

Prozac since first diagnosed with FMS 11 years ago. It was just a part

of life. I've been in an awful flare for 3 weeks now so I went in today

to see the doc. He threw me a curve! He took me off Prozac (which I'm

scared about) and put me on Savella, which is brand new and Neurontin,

along with Seroquel XR which I had started 2 months ago. I am scared

about the new meds because I don't ever want to get depressed like I was

before Prozac again. Has anyone tried Savella or neurontin for

Fibromyalgia? Have a good day!
