Nefopam/Acupan is an interesting drug for Fibro as it's not only a non-opioid painkiller, but it seems to boost dopamine as well. I haven't taken it myself but I know people it has helped.

As with all medications and Fibro, it may be necessary to start on a low dose and gradually build it up to avoid or limit side effects. Is "one or two three times a day" all the advice your doctor gave on prescribing them?
