Advice & Tips
This worked wonders for my fibro pain. I was able to do a bit more as I wasn't hurting as much and was able to be a bit more active. Wasn't thinking about death as a way to release me from the pain any more. If you are considering this medication I would recommend at least to try it. It may work for you.

Advice & Tips
I found I can make conversation better, but that seemed more at first. I still feel no motivation or (beyond mental desire) to get things done. It's all a huge effort. I was hoping this new med would help.
