As most fibromyalgia patients can confirm, amitriptyline and cyclobenzaprine have utterly failed as fibromyalgia treatments. Both patient testimony and research confirm this. Nonetheless, I sat in the audience at the 2006 conference of the American Academy of Pain Management and heard a prominent pain specialist state that amitriptyline is the first line treatment for fibromyalgia. In my opinion, his statement was a disservice to the pain management practitioners in the audience.
Because of the speaker's statement, I am here republishing my editorial criticizing Dr. Russell's false statements that amitriptyline and cyclobenzaprine are effective fibromyalgia treatments. My hope is that making the editorial available to patients and doctors will help offset harm to patients done by the poor advice the speaker gave the audience.
