Multiple things: There are four main drugs used in fibromyalgia: savella, (milnacipran) lyrica, Cymbalta and gabapentim. The associated sleep disorder can often be treated with Elavil or trazadone along with medications general progressive aerobic exercise and physical therapy narcotics are of relatively little help so taper them off slowly Zanaflex for muscle spasm sometimes helps stay away from Soma occasionally Flexeril ok.
