Fibromyalgia prompts doctors to prescribe medications for a variety of drug classes, but none of the medications used for fibromyalgia were actually developed for the condition or even approved by the FDA for treating it.
Nevertheless, a number of medications have shown effectiveness in randomized clinical trials of people with fibromyalgia. These include the anti-depressant medications, muscle relaxants, and certain analgesics. Some preliminary studies have shown that using anti-seizure medications are also demonstrating promising results in helping to ease pain, promote sleep and relieve fatigue.
There are some health products that you can buy besides medications that will help with fibromyalgia syndrome. Not only are they very helpful in relieving pain, but they are not as expensive as certain medications. Some supplements that you can take include Isotonix OPC-3, Isotonix Calcium Plus, and Glucosatrin.
