Medicine isn't working for fibromyalgia anymore what will they do next? Added more detail.?

I also have Fibromyalgia in 17 of 18 trigger points so I am always in pain. The Dr gave me Lyrica also and it never touched my pain. He said take Motrin with it, no help. I just try to live with the pain because I am allergic to all the good pain meds like hydrocodone and oxycontin and anything with codeine, demerol, fentanyl and just about everything else so basically I put up with the pain. I have been on most meds mentioned and can't take them or they don't help. It doesn't help that I also have Gastroparesis and have to sit up on the couch to sleep EVERY NIGHT for the past 2 years. I get a few mages but they are only temporary relief. The weather does make it worse. The Dr suggested antidepressants for pain relief but I'm not going down that road. My stomach won't dissolve pills so I need liquids, gel caps or have to crush up all the pills I take. I hope you can find something that will help you. Exercise, rest and mages help some as does a good soak in a bubble bath when you can. Ultram, Neurontin and Amytriptoline never worked for me, never tried Limictal.
