Hi Elenio

I am taking quite a lot of medication but it is also for other medical conditions. My main Fibro drugs are Pregabalin, Nortriptyline, Citalopram and Cocodamol. I also use a TENS Machine which I find quite useful. I do also have a MediPen which is a cbd inhalator and it works quite well also. I have pasted all of my medications below:

Alendronic Acid Tablets –

70 mg Tablets. One to be taken weekly

Accrete D3 Tablets –

Calcium / Colecalciferol tablets. One to be taken twice daily

Nortriptyline Tablets –

25 mg tablets. One to be taken on alternative nights.

Sumatriptam 50mg Tablets –

One to be taken when needed. No more than 2 tablets in 24 hours.

Pregabalin -

I am taking LDN (low dose naltrexone) just 0.5mg per morning which helps improve my mood, keeps it stable and helps me tolerate pain better. I get this on private prescription. It works like an anti-depressant for me but with no side effects.

I take Nortriptyline 10mg at night which helps me sleep and also helps prevent nerve pain and migraines.

I also find epsom salts in my bath at night really helpful for muscle pain and to relax me so I sleep better.

I also take Tramadol but you can't take this at the same time as LDN because they interact. So if I need it then I take it in the late afternoon/evening and rely on over the counter painkillers earlier in the day if I need pain relief then.
