Several options: Considering that depression is also present, treatment with Cymbalta might be very effective as treatment of both fibromyalgia and depression..Cymbalta , or duloxetine, is often used for treatment of peripheral neuropathy and may be helpful in diminishing symptoms of fibromyalgia..If not, then Lyrica (pregabalin) or other antidepressants are also indicated in treament.

Pharmacotherapy: has produced mixed results in the management of fibromyalgia. Both amitriptyline (10-50 mg) and cyclobenzaprine (10-30 mg) were effective. Zolpidem, an anxiolytic used for the short-term management of insomnia, was also found to be effective.
