gertie Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I haven't tried it. All I've heard about it is that it is for fibromyalgia. It does have a lot of warning doesn't it? I wouldn't be able to take it because if you are allergic to aspirin or have seizures you can't take it. If you need something for fibromyalgia couldn't you take something else? I've taken Neurontin for it & it seems to help & it helps you sleep. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It seems newly approved. It's an SNRI like Cymbalta & Effexor. I've not tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
