Fibromyalgia Posted: 03-20-06 13:26pm
I have fibro,and was recently given a
prescription for topomax,by a physican who
specialises in fibro.My question is:have
you heard of this medication for this
condition?My drug plan will not cover the
cost,so I would like to hear if you have
had any other people prescribed this
medication for this.(i also suffer from
ibs,and headaches,some migraines)

Topomax has helped with my headaches some
but not too much with the fibromyalgia but
we are all different as faras medications
go. It is not a cheap medication for sure
if you check into the internet their is a
plaace that will give you a trial of 42
pills 25mg. For free you might want to
check it out, all you have to do is to
print out the paper work , fill it out
take it to your dr and ask for your dr to
write a prescription for the trial of 42
25 mg tabs, if it is still going on, one
reason that I did like it was becaause it
helped me to loose weight but I also have
other medical problems other then fibro,
the main thing is is to keep moving and to
realize that you will have your bad days
and their is truly some bad thing that I
do not like about it was that the
tiredness you feel almost all of the time
the memory thing along with the achiness
but with all of my other medical
problemsss I cannot tell one thing from
the other. I use immitrex for my
migrines,it dooes help as long as I take
it as I just feel it comming on and it too
is expensive. Can't you fight your
insurance over paying for it, sometimes
drs write the wrong code or some dumb
reason like that.
Good luck!
Keep me posted, I would like to know about
how you are doing.
