Hi I was eventually diagnosed with fibro about 5 years ago. Was on pregabalin for about 1 year but then doctor withdrew them . Have been taking over counter pain killers( probably too many ) freeze gel- heat pads for about 12 months now - I spoke with my gp last week who has suggested amitriptyline- is anyone using this and what are the results?

Hi Babboo18, this is the Weight Loss Support community. I'm afraid that we're not medically qualified so we cannot help with your problem. We're here to offer peer to peer support for weight loss.

I was wondering if you're looking for a Fibro support group. There are several on HealthUnlocked. Here's the link for one of them.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having to deal with pain.

If you are looking for support on your weight loss journey just shout out. There's always someone here.:)

I was using Amytriptaline, it did help with my pain. I have stopped for a while because I am having to sort other medications for other conditions.
