I am on morphine gabapentin and duloxatine, I have been for a couple of years now .since October I stated reducing these due to fatigue and horrendous sweats, I'm down to 120mg of morph, 1200 of gaba and 30 mg of duloxatine and I'm so tired all I do is sleep , I've no energy to do anything , I used to be super fit and active, I'm at mt wits end now, could the pain meds still be knocking me out , is it depression, it's taking over my life I'm desperate for help now. I'm just surviving . Thanks.

    Your pain meds are making you tired.I am in constant chronic pain with back and fibro but I take nothing.I pace myself and rest

    when I need to .All those meds are having a huge effect on your

    liver.These doctors just want to get you out of the surgery.

    Theres no help for fibro without side effects.

    Do you swim thats the best medicine.

      Why dont you concentrate on reducing one tablet at a time. Be

      kind to your body you are full of toxins.Duloxatine on its own

      makes you sleepy.I tried splitting my dose to 30/30 but still

      couldnt stay awake in day.At night it gave me insomnia and I

      would wake around 2 to 3 in a hot sweat feeling really odd.

      Woukd gave to get up and sit for a couple of hours till I felt able

      to go back to bed . Fortunately I dont have to work anymore .
