I have tried Cymbalta and felt stoned out of my mind so the doctor told me to stop taking it. I have tried Robaxin 750 mg three times a day, Flexeril 5 mg three times a day, and now Valium 10 mg three times a day. I am on Effexor 75 mg. and I am supposed to double my dose but I want to wait until I get used to the Valium. My personal opinion is that I have PD and not Fibro. The main reason I think that is because my stiffness just hasn't been relieved at all by anything except for PD meds. I took Mirapex for six months because Neuro thought there was a 50% chance I had PD based on cogwheel rigidity and tremor. He didn't think that the medication was helping enough and thought that there was more going on. It is a very long story. If you are interested, I posted a post in the PD forum titled "Hello Again" and you might get a better picture of me if you read it and some of my older posts. The reason that I haven't tried Lyrica is because it tends to increase blood sugar and I am a type one diabetic that lives attached to an insulin pump 24 hours a day. It is hard enough to keep my blood sugar stable without throwing a medication that might make managing my diabetes even more difficult into the mix.

Thanks for your response. :0)
