Limited Options: The best treatment is to stay active. There are three fda approved drugs: savella, (milnacipran) lyrica, cymbalta. I frequently use a combo of savella/lyrica or cymbalta/lyrica. Opioids (lortab etc) have a limited role.

Aqua therapy: Query about best medicine for fibromyalgia leads to the best answer that aqua therapy is the most important therapeutic modality; to re-establish muscle tone and resultant musculoskeletal stability and support. Gravity is part of the mechanism of injury in fibromyalgia. Exercise within the gravitational field is too painful for most fibromyalgia sufferers. Water buoyancy negates gravity.
