Suggest Treatment For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And Fibromyalgia

default
Posted on Mon, 2 Feb 2015
Question: Can I get a prescription through you? I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibromyalgia. Is there a more appropriate medicine than Soma?

I have seen Lyrica and Cymbalta advertised on TV. Would one of these two drugs be better or less expensive?

Cymbalta can be effective

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Cymbalta is an effective drug for chronic fatigue syndrome. The other medicines that can be effective are milnacipran and opipromol . Lyrica can also be effective and can be used to supplement the current medications. Cymbalta will be cheaper for you.
Regarding prescription, as health care magic is an online forum, legally we are not supposed to prescribe medications without physically examining you. Such regulation are primarily meant for the safety of the patients as well as the Doctor. Further any prescription given in E-mail will not be honored by the pharmacy in your country. Sincere apologies for the same.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
