No, was told by a male nurse, to have them try Lyrica (SP) or Cymbalta, a best friend has Fibro an had some real scary side effects,,, I know everyone is different, was going to try Lyrica but ins wouldn't pay at that time so haven't. I use Effexor right now. ---

That's one drug I've never tried, Effexor, hope it helps, Rita!
