Sorry you are having such a hard time lately . Give the anti dpressants some time if you have one brand that suits you they will work I had to try 3. Now I am on dosulepin.... An old cheap one ... It scrambles your pain signals in the brain and if taken last thing at night they should relax your muscles slightly and give you better sleep... I think lots of people on here take them and not for depression just standard treatment for fibro... I didn't believe it myself till I read it on one of the fibro info pages. For me they have really made a difference I sleep at night. Please don't take morphine if it doesn't agree with you.... It makes me really constipated and set off my ibs... Please see another dr don't try to sit at home in pain

Hugs

It can take 3 to 4 weeks for the antidepressants to start working, I'm currently on my 3rd week of Sertraline, and I am just feeling a tiny bit better, so be patient, it will be worth it in the end.

I was on amitripyline which is supposed to be good for fibro. People say but that is an anti depress, but it is also used for fibro. They workded well for me for a long time then stopped. Then I tried Dosulepin, and after 6 weeks, no change so I am back to the AMitrips now and waiting for them to kick in. I would like to be able to take pain killers, but due to severe stomach troubles I cannot xxxxx
