Members shared a wide range of medications and supplements they use to manage fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, and joint discomfort, with many taking combinations like Lyrica, Cymbalta, gabapentin, tramadol, and Norco for pain, along with muscle relaxers like Zanaflex and cyclobenzaprine. Several members emphasized that vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, and malic acid have helped with energy and fatigue, though experiences varied widely, with some finding relief and others still struggling with severe, uncontrolled pain despite multiple medications. A recurring theme was the deeply personal nature of treatment, with members encouraging each other to stay hopeful, keep trying new options, maintain a positive attitude, and recognize that what works for one person may not work for another.

I take Syvella. It works on it's own most days. My doctor recommended melatonin but, not sure about that yet.

Hi, I am on cymbalta, lyrica & gabapentin!! My doctor also has me taking B12 & vitamin D!!! The gabapentin helps at night for restless legs & it makes me sleepy!! But as for pain.... None of them really help!! Most days I have to take a nap after a few hours of being up..... So I'm not sure the vitamins are helping me with energy!! Maybe, I would be worse if I wasn't taking them!!! But I am not willing to take the chance & go off of them!!! Hopefully they would help you!! All of us are so different, it would be worth a try!!:)
