Current thinking is to NOT use opiates for Fibro. The seminar I attended did say that Ultram (tramadol) may be tried, or Flexeril at bedtime.
The researcher, Dr. Clauw, that I heard, was just excellent. I have a post here with the highlights of his lecture.
He said that tests showed that the receptors were mostly full with endorphins that the body makes (people with Fibro make more than average people)..and that narcotics fail because of this.
