Consider: Meds that may help include gabapentin, lyrica, cymbalta, and savella (milnacipran). All have high chance of helping most if not all of your symptoms.

Seek expert advice: Nortryptyline if given in low dosage at bedtime only may help the sleep disorder Methocarbamol has little effect see a pmr or rheumatology specialist there are more choices for treatment.
