Advice & Tips: Vicodin eliminates virtually every Fibromyalgia symptom I experience. I take 20/2000mg, which is about three times the typical dose, but it works. To date, this is the only treatment that makes me feel like a normal human being. Everybody tells me it's dangerous and most doctors REFUSE to prescribe it for me on a long-term basis, but they aren't the ones in pain. If they could help find something that actually works as well as Vicodin I'd be happy to take it.
Side effects: excessive sweating, sleepiness
