i have severe fibro + sever bipolar. am disabled from these 2

i am 25 years old, and i have been in constant pain the last 4 years. i go into mania easily, when i am in level 8+ pain. this means i go into mania most days of the week

is anyone else in a similar stage/boat/situation?

i am already on the following meds: seroquel, lithium, lamictal, gabapentin, vicodin (15 ~ 30mg) a day

There is another group called "Healing Well" that has members who have Fibromalgia. One is a person called "Gettingby" who deals with it well after years of struggling.

I don't know if we are permitted to recommend something outside this forum, but I do know that the one I mentioned has folks who deal with it reasonably well.

Have you heard of a medication called "Pristique"? It seems to me I remember it may have been one prescribed for a patient there, but it has been a long time ago, and I don't know what the situation is now.
