Medications given for fibromyalgia can help reduce pain, improve sleep, and control other symptoms.
Primarily anti-depressant and muscle relaxers are used. Many people are sensitive to medication, and only need very low doses for the medication to be effective. Take your medication early enough in the evening, so that it will be worn off by morning. Adjust the time as necessary. If you find an effective medication, but experience side effects, your doctor may want to simply adjust the dose of medication before resorting to changing the medication entirely.
