It doesn't have to be one thing or another. You can be on meds and still see a therapist. Why do you want to stop the medicine?

Its up to you in the end, but if the meds help, why stop taking them?
Therapists have their own axe to grind 'if' they discourage meds, they want to make money! |

All the medication I'm trying for fibromyalgia have appeared to be causing side effects equally as bad as the pain itself. I don't feel like I can win here. There is no "Magical" pill to help me... =(
