Hi Patti: I have had fibro for 15 years. What I have found worked for me are Sinequan (doxepin,an anti-depressant) but it caused too much weight gain for me -- depakote, which I am back on at 500 mg/day--a muscle relaxant"Soma" which I reserved for severe muscle pain when tylenol/aspirin/motrin didn't work-- yoga --chiropractic adjustments in some ways -- massage therapy for 1 hour at least monthly--using a tennis ball between your back and a wall while standing up and pressing in order to put pressure on the trigger point(s) until they relax. Good luck, Donna
