of the most frustrating aspects of fibromyalgia has been the lack of
viable medications to treat its symptoms. Many different things are
tried in combination for relief of pain and for problems with sleep.
When a patient is diagnosed with fibromyalgia, most often a program is
prescribed that includes patient education, behavior modification,
gentle therapy, and medication for sleep and pain. In 2003, however, a
study at an outpatient clinic found that a combination of analgesic
drugs, tramadol and acetaminophen, could be a safe and effective way to
achieve at least moderate fibromyalgia pain. Study
participants, primarily women between the ages of 18 and 75 years, were
allowed to take medication for depression and sleeping aids. There were
315 participants, half taking the combination medication and half
taking a placebo. Results of the study confirmedthat the combination of
these drugs was a safe and effective way to relieve pain for patients
with fibromyalgia. Because
many medications are used in combination to treat fibromyalgia, the use
of antidepressants and sleep aids was specifically examined in this
study, and was not felt to be a problem (participants in previous
studies had not been allowed to use antidepressants and sleep aids).
The reports authors, however, warn that taking several medications
with acetaminophen in combination with these two drugs could be toxic.
Consequently, if your doctor is considering prescribing the tramadol
and acetaminophen combination, its critically important to tell your
doctor about all other medications (including both prescription and
over-the-counter) you may be taking, especially those containing
acetaminophen. Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@yahoogroups.comWelcome
