IN BRIEF: Fibromyalgia Treatments With Antidepressants Gets Mixed Results

MDs often prescribe antidepressants for Fibromyalgia Syndrome  (FMS). The problem is that the results are very mixed and these prescriptions seem to be rooted more in the belief that something is wrong with the FMS patients psyche than with his body.   Not to say that antidepressants do not alter the brain chemistry and that they might have anti-inflamatory and  immuno-modulation properties because  pro-inflammatory  processes can occur during clinical depression [1]

So a study published in the Journal Central Nervous System (CNS) Drugs [3] was put together to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-depressants against Fibromyalgia. The theshold of beneficial effect was set rather low : 30% decrease of pain.

Here is a summary of the results:

* _**SNRIs (Such as Duloxetine,Milcinipran, etc)**_:  The size of the effects on pain, depression and quality of life  were small and the one on sleep not substantial.

72/198 (36.4%) patients with SSRIs and 40/194 (20.6%) patients with placebo reported a**_ 30% pain reduction_**

* **Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)_ such as Amitriptiline, Doxepin, etc_**: The effect sizes on pain and sleep were moderate and the ones on fatigue and HRQOL were small. 140/290 (48.3%) patients with TCAs and 70/252 (27.8%) patients with placebo reported a_** 30% pain reduction and a 20-30% dropout from treatment**_ [3]
* [![][1]][2]

Fibromyalgia Drugs: How Effective?

Looks dismall to me , particularly considering the side effects: 20-30% dropout

_**Note:**_

The SSRI class of antidepressants also is absent from study [3]. So even though, some study claim pain reduction the quantification might still be in the 30% pain reduction.

This drug list is about antidepressants, not anti-epileptic drugs. We reported on those in another post [4]. Sorry to say, the results were  slightly better, reaching 30-50% pain reduction. And those too carry substantial side effects with 20% dropout.

EEOC Wins Disability Discrimination Suit Against Payday Lender 'The Cash Store'

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has won one of its first disability discrimination lawsuits concerning bipolar disorder. Cottonwood Financial, which does business as The Cash Store, violated the [Americans with Disabilities Act][1] (ADA) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) when it fired an employee with bipolar disorder. The employee's request for sick leave to adjust to new medication was denied and he was fired days later. The ADA and the WLAD prohibit employment decisions based on an employee's real or perceived disability or request for an accommodation.

Justice Department Intervenes in Lawsuit Involving New Hampshire's Mental Health System

The U.S. Department of Justice has intervened in a recently-filed lawsuit charging that the State of New Hampshire does not provide mental health services to people with disabilities in community settings. This violates the [Americans with Disabilities Act][1] (ADA) and [Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973][2]. Due to the state's failures to comply with these laws, people with mental illness who need state mental health services must go to segregated institutions in New Hampshire. Under the ADA, a state cannot require people with disabilities to enter segregated facilities to get services.
