3 Effective Pain Medications for Fibromyalgia

Cymbalta

Cymbalta is a common drug prescribed to patients suffering from fibromyalgia. It is among the most effective medication when it comes to dealing with fibromyalgia pain. Cymbalta is a type of antidepressant. It helps to build neurotransmitter, serotonin, in the brain, which has a positive effect on the fibromyalgia symptoms. The biggest advantage of Cymbalta in the early stages of fibromyalgia is that low doses of the medication can help to manage the painful symptoms without the need to take other stronger drugs.

Savella

Savella is another medication that has been specifically designed as treatment for those with fibromyalgia. It works in the same way as antidepressants, such as Cymbalta. They prevent the re-uptake of the serotonin in one’s brain, which increases the overall serotonin levels. This can help to address the various symptoms of fibromyalgia such as stiff muscles, fatigue and pain.

Just like any other pain medications, Savella may be effective for others, and may not work for some. The medication can also produce some mild side effects.

In order to ensure your safety, it is best to consult with your doctor before you decide to take any of this medications for fibromyalgia.

    Want early onset dementia take Savella, Cymbalta and or Lyrica. Tramadol is being abused for a high so very soon that will become restricted too. We are suffering for nothing. Do I want to be victim to early onset dementia not thanks. Do your research. My friend got early onset dementia from Lyrica at 52 years old. Think about it.
