I've fibro, my family doctor will not give me pain pills - though I haven't abused them. My pdoc wanted me to switch from Paxil to Cybmbota but that isn't going to happen anytime soon - from reading some of the posts - it sounds like a part of Cybmbota is like prozac - which sent me off into a tailspin when I tried it. I've to get my asthma and acid refux under control before I go off Paxil. I also have to have a lung biopsy so going off Paxil is going have to wait.

I'm allergic to all asprin products. My family doc, said I need to "tough" out the pain because pain pills can be adicting.

Well, I take Trazodone, ambien and zanac to sleep and it hasn't been adicting in that I don't "crave" more.It just does the job of getting me to sleep and keeping me there. My Pdoc precribed this medication - my fdoc wouldn't.

I'm hurting so bad. Just everywhere and everything.

Is there a good pain pill that I could ask for and a certain kind of doctor that treats chronic pain that would understand what it is like.

Do internists treat chronic pain? Is that the type of doc I need to go to?

Do your doctors give you something for pain and does it help?
I think pain that is always there kinda wears a person out.

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks much
