Fibromyalgia meds: Ask your doc to consider older, less expensive meds like Elavil (antidepressant that helps sleep & relive pain) Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) (a muscle relaxer) and tylenol/an NSAID (advil/motrin, etc). The combination of these should help relieve your symptoms at reduced cost.

Fibromyalgia: The key to recovery is better sleep and aerobic exercise. Even if you don't feel like exercising, gradually increasing amounts will be of great benefit, in addition to the medications recommended by dr. Morgan.
