I had a visit with the rheumy today and lo and behold he did nothing but change my prescription and say cross your fingers. oh I am so sick of the same bul***** . It's like a $200 appt for a whole 15 minutes and thats all that occurs. I ask him about a pain patch because it is difficult to get through classes and he says well we don't treat fibtro with narcotics. what the hell, can't i get some relief here?
then he gave me amrix for my on-going stiff neck, has anyone tried this?
he said it would probably make me tired which is great because I really have time to be sleepy.
thanks friends

I did try one capsule when I got the samples and it did help me sleep. I have chronic insomnia so that was good.
My advice is to try taking it when you do not have to get up early the next day. This way you can see how your body is affected by it and you will know in the future what time is the best time to take it.

Please don't shoot the messenger (me), I am just letting you know what my rheumy said and why she said it.
I haven't heard of amrix till this post.
I agree with Lorena72 about trying it when you don't have plans to do anything.
Lorena72 I'm not shooting the messanger but alot of Doctors use this as an excuse to not prescribe pain meds. I'm lucky my doctors don't do this.
I take vicoden as needed that's the way the script is written. It does make me more tired and makes my insomnia worse but it does help my pain so I only take it when my pain reaches the point I feel I need to go to the the ER so I don't have to go to ER. I'm there enough for my asthma.
Sending Hugs & Prayers that this med works for you.
