I find that my fibro meds help my bpd, in fact I have never in my life been through so much and stayed stable. It was my pain cons that commented on it. I am on pregabalin 600mg once a day. God help the medic that tries to take it off me

Hi there I have Bi Polar and I don't seem to have any problems with my meds for fibromyalgia I get sad days but its more due to pain and fatigue my moods seem more stable not so manic anymore,I take Gabapentin,Lofepramine and Tramacet, I used to take Citalopram but I gained too much weight and it made me fuzzy and sick,hope things are ok for you xxx

hi i have bi polar and i have not been in hopital for 9 years i was told by my doctor that under no circumstances was i allowed to take any kind of drug as this has a great effect on your lithuim and other tablets you take this for me was a warning that it would have damage to my health .also as i have asthama steroids was a no no area.this was talked about with great seriousness and i was also told that side effects of fibro meds would make me seriousley ill so for me as a fibo sufferer person i had to make a sacrifice being stable with mental health and suffer chronic fibo i decided to keep my mental health on the right path.as this was a very seriouse warning i had to protect one out the two.
