When I was going through menopause and became rather homicidal (I only wish I was kidding--the rages were horrendous). Doc put me on prozac which I ditched after 2 weeks and went into a health store and asked for something that would curb my rages. They sent me over to this section and recommended HTP-calm that has 5-HTP and kava kava, st. johns wart and a bunch of other stuff. Now I take it during a bad flare -- especially if the flare involves heightened sensitivity to sound/smell/ etc. it will settle me. I have vicodin for my arthritis issues and frankly, it doesn't seem to work as well as 5-HTP for fibro.

I take magnesium glycanate which is slopes to be the best for fibro. It helps with pain, sleep, and mood.

Just started magnesium before bed and a magnesium spray. It is helping getting SOME sleep....better than without.

Do you take magnesium? One of my supplements. Also, super B complex and grape seed extract.

Yes, I take 1100mg daily. It used to work well for pain, but have not seen any improvement lately. It's also good for the immune system, so I will keep taking it. Thanks 😆
