Low dose of the older antidepressants is a common prescription for fibromyalgia, which isn't saying that fibromyalgia is about depression, the meds simply work well for some people in regards to pain and sleep issues.

Ultram often tried too. I'm not able to take it myself, side effects too much, though I don't now recall what side effects I experienced.

Flexeril helps me at night for sleep, sometimes I take it during the day also. Otherwise I mostly cope by taking lots of hot baths and showers, trying to pace my activity level, and whatever else I can come up with.

The CFIDS/Fibromyalgia Toolkit, A Practical Self-Help Guide by Bruce F. Campbell, PhD is excellent.
Self-Help is a wonderful site and includes info on low cost/free self help courses. I'm in an alum one now myself.

My best advice to folks who learn they have fibromyalgia is to trust themselves. Even if people tell you that you don't "look sick", that you should be able to just use some willpower and do more, that if you would only do whatever diet thingie or herbs or crystals or whatever.....you would get well, etc........please trust yourself and your experience.

The other book I suggest is by Katrina Berne, PhD, . Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Other Invisible Illnesses She is a psychologist who has fibromyalgia.

Hope I'm not blabbing too much here, know you did not ask for all this, just in the mood to pass good stuff on.
