I am currently on imapramine a 45 year old medication, that along with flexeril helps me sleep 4-5 hours on a good night. much better than the 1-2 hours i use to get.

If you can get the sleep, and along with some mild pain medications you will feel better during the day.

Hope you feel better
They do!!! All the time, and it anoys me no end. They keep telling me it is because of my Fibro that I feel the pain from my PN so bad, but that since I am on Lyrica nothing more can be done as Lyrica is the ONLY/BEST thing that works for Fibro. URG!
