Members shared a wide variety of medications and supplements they use to manage fibromyalgia-related sleep difficulties, with trazodone, amitriptyline, tizanidine, and melatonin emerging as the most commonly mentioned options. Several members described finding relief through muscle relaxers like tizanidine and baclofen, natural supplements such as melatonin and CBD gummies, and sleep aids like Natrol Sleep + Calm, while others cautioned about side effects including nightmares from amitriptyline and grogginess from Flexeril. A recurring theme was the deeply personal trial-and-error nature of finding what works, with members emphasizing the importance of paying attention to timing, dosage, food triggers, and individual body responses.

I have tried many of the prescription sleep aids and muscle relaxers with many side effects and not much relief. About six months ago, my sister gave me some of the sleep aid she takes and I took that with the Baclafen I routinely take. It worked remarkably well and is now part of my routine. The sleep aid is Natrol Sleep +Calm.

I only take 10 mg of Amitriptylene and that works for me- no side effects. Tried 20mg once and felt strange. Guess we have to find what is right for us xx

Amitriptylene has changed my life. I had insomnia for about 15 years. Had Zolpidem/ambien and it made me really depressed. The Amitrip is amazing. I take one 1 hour before bed and just drift off. Always wake up after about 4 hours to go to the bathroom and then get another 2/3 hours sleep.
