has anyone in the uk been put on this medication for fibro , since a lady from portugal mentioned it iv been looking into it.

sounds hopeful and the fact that the med can be prescribed safley to pregnant women .

lends me to think of trying it  as so many drugs used for fibro have a list of side effects as long as your arm and this only has one noted one of the lack of ability to sleep and restlessness for a week or two.

.only thing its not liscened for fibro but i believe can be prescribed of label

anyone been prescribed it in the uk and how have you found it.

    Hiya,

    I enquired about this to the LDN people and got sent an e-mail with an attachement to take to my GP, if you want to PM me with your e-mail im happy to forward on the details. It seems to be small studies, claims to treat most things and has very little side effects, seems a bit to good to be true which makes me suspicious HOWEVER I have read a few reviews from people with fibro and MS and alot seem to say it helps, other websites however have slammed the idea it can help anything but opiod addiction which is what it is actually approved to treat.
