Fibromyalgia&Bipolar: Studies show that alternative treatments for fibromyalgia may have some benefit. Learn about and work on having excellent sleep hygiene. Evaluate your diet and consider trying an elimination diet to see if it affects your symptoms. Exercise is an amazing stress relief that can improve your symptoms as well. Yoga has been shown to possibly improve symptoms. See your MD for referrals and good luck.

Help for pain: Lithium plus Lyrica (pregabalin) may increase side effects eg., dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Be careful about adding other meds that may also interact with lithium. Discuss meds with your pcp or rheumatologist. Also try non-med strategies like exercise, relaxation techniques, acupuncture, CBT to reduce stress.
