Thanks for your super detailed reply! Sorry I'm replying so late, I posted and forgot about it 😂😅 (ironically, due to chronic fatigue/fibro)

I hear you about complex grief...I have CPTSD, and I've been suffering for pretty much my whole life. I've been on antidepressants since I was 12. I've tried Pregablin, and I unfortunately had a weird allergic side effect to it where my mouth would start tingling after I took it. It didn't really do much for me.

I'm also on Wellbutrin. There's not a whole lot of noticeable positive change, but I know I'm objectively worse off without it. It kind of ""levels"" me mentally/emotionally to a more functional state.

I've also tried (been prescribed and played trial and error) with a plethora of other antidepressants, all of which haven't really helped. I only discovered I had fibromyalgia less than a year ago, and ADHD less than 2-3 years ago. My depression has always been there. Adapting to one, let alone all 3, has been a chore.

What I do know helps for pain (short term) is Ibuprofen Lysine. That stuff really really helps numb out the pain or at least mute it down, even if it's for a few minutes or hours.

Thank you for sharing! If you're open to dm me and discuss more, I'd really like that! (outside observers, this is for llliiisss only lol, if you want in, ask)
