I am really getting desparate and starting to get just as depressed. I have not slept in so long...(I was taking Trazadone which is not working anymore) I took a ambein 10mg last night that I got from a friend. Would you believe I still did not sleep! All I got from it is a dizzy morning and now I'm so tired I could cry but can't sleep! My pain was over the top last night. I don't have anything for pain because, well the dr. doesn't want to give me a narcodic. My insurance denied my perscription for Lyrica. I won't have insurance for the month of Novemeber because, guess what....You guessed it...I forgot to make my payment. Just don't know what I'm going to do. No need for replies, I'm just venting and feeling sorry for myself this morning and no one is on DS playing the Queen game to distract me so, I'll just have my own little pitty party. Thanks for listening.

I feel you on the no sleep. I'm taking Zoloft for depression which is working, but insomnia is a side effect. I'm sick on top of it all--I have the flu or a cold or something and I've been nyquiling it for the past couple days. Blah!
Don't give up on finding solutions for your pain though--you need pain relievers.
Keep up your spirits.

Hissing match aside...

I am sorry ur not sleeping...

I honestly cannot take any of the meds they offer me...so I have to just deal with the pain and the sleepless nights...

the only thing I CAN do when the pain is bad is take my ibuprophen....take a hot bath in my epsom salts...and try to get as cozy as I can...alot of people cannot tolerate ibuprophan...and from what I hear alot of people with FM cannot tolerate the hot baths.....thank god I can tolerate them both because that is the only bit of relief I can find so far...

so now OFF with you lil'kitty...play hard so tonight u'll be to tired to care about the pain !!

I am sorry you are having such a nasty flare. A nice not heating pad and nice hot bath may work.
Have u tried taking serotonin? U can get it at walmart.

I know that u won't have insurance for this month but if i were you i would try to maybe find a different doc. A doc that wont give you narcotics for fibro doesnt know a thing about fibro.
Something else u may want to find out is if your ins. will pay for neurontin when it kicks back in. Neurontin and lyrica are in the same family. I cannot take lyrica but take neurontin with no side affects and it does help.
*hugs*
I hope you feel better tommorow.

I use to take lyrica and ambian cr,but now don't have any ins,but ambiancr work wonderful for me..
i was taking 12.5,now i'm taking amptrpline100,doesn't work as well

deleted_user 11/04/2007

I'm with you on this one. I haven't slept a good night for so long I've forgotten what sleep really feels like. I've tried sleeping meds but they don't really do anything for me except make me groggy the next day.
My husband calls me 'panda eyes' as I have big huge black rings around my eye - lol!!!!!
Hope you find something that works

I take Rozerm and it really helps...I don't get sleep every night, yet I get more than I have before...Taking 3 Advil also help...Fibro can suck!!
