Is ultram good for fibromyalgia pain? I'm sick of the narcotics!?

I use ultram its the only thing that i have found that I am able to take and not effect me with my work

I had a bad experience with ultram I dont think it would work any better then narcotics. THere are new meds out just for fibromyalgia, ask your dr.

Lyrica, a non-narcotic, is newly indicated for the pain of fibro.

READ THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER MAYBE IT CAN HELPI DEAR DR. GOTT: For several years, I suffered from fibromyalgia and was told there was very little that could be done. My pain was constant and extreme. No pain medication seemed to work.
Then I found a doctor who knew what to do. He said that he had been an intern for two fibromyalgia specialists, and that the antidepressant Elavil would be extremely helpful. I told him that I have never suffered from depression. He answered that it doesn't matter, since Elavil works on the symptoms anyway. He prescribed 25 milligrams (a low dose) and said that I wouldn't notice any changes at all in my symptoms for about two months. He predicted that after that time, it would suddenly occur to me that my pain was gone. Well, this is exactly what happened. That was four years ago, and the pain has not returned. I use the generic form, amitriptyline. I have told several others about this treatment, and their experiences have been the same as mine.
Please put this letter in your column so that others will learn about this miracle drug. It disturbs me that no one seems to know about it, and it isn't even mentioned on the fibromyalgia Web site.

I recently went to a conference on fibromyalgia. They are working getting a couple new pharmaceuticals approved for fibromyalgia use. Until then, doctors have found that patients respond better to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like advil and aleve in perscription strength. Narcotics have little to no effect on the management of pain associated with fibromyalgia. Someone else mentioned Lyrica, which seems to work better than other narcotics, but it is still a schedule V controlled substance.
