Sleep and fibromyalgia
Hi
I would just like to know what others take for sleep with fibromyalgia. I can't seem to tolerate my cyclobenzaprine anymore
Works great for sleep, But makes my ears ring affects my tinnitus. I am going to go back to my 5htp and cbd. See if that will help.

Hi
Oh you are on cymbalta (duloxetine). I had to take that when I had knee surgery 14 years ago it was the worst drug I have ever had to come off.I wish you luck with it if you have to go off it. It worked well for my pain. I would never.
Take it again.
Before the Bupronorphine Patch and the Duloxatine, that I’ve only been taking since late October, I had been prescribed dihydrocodeine, paracetamol plus, Amitriptyline for several years. I had to gradually titrate down from those meds then, slowly titrate up to the 60 mg of Duloxatine am and 60mg in the evening. When that had settled in, I was allowed the Bupronorphine Patch, that releases 10 micrograms every hour, for seven days, when I have removed it, cleaned the area thoroughly - I then place a new patch on the alternative arm….
Hi
If it works for that's great. My fibro symptoms are more sleep issues. Muscle fatigue, depression. I never had the depression until I had to go off hrt.

Hi
I was just talking to a friend of mine and she is on trazadone . I am going to speak to my Is family doctor to see if he would give me that. May I ask how many mg you take. My friend does 25mg
I've tried Ambien but it doesn't work for me at all. I take 100mg of Trazadone as needed. It works great and I don't have that morning hung over feeling with it.
They make a cooling blanket that is amazing. After having lymphoma I can't control my temperature normally. I bought this amazing blanket from Amazon. My daughter bought me cooling bed pillows for Christmas. Even if I have night sweats, the pillow and the cooling blanket make it more bearable.❣️
I take 300mg Magnesium Glycinate 2-3 hrs before bed. I take a CBN/THC sleep gummy (Minny Grown brand called Hibernate) about 30-60 minutes before bed. Then about 20 minutes before bed I take 2mg melatonin and either 5mg cyclobenzaprine or 50mg trazodone. All of this usually makes me sleepy enough to fall asleep within 30 minutes. I feel lucky if I get 6 hrs of sleep.
Hi
Do you think the trazadone help you more than the cyclobenzaprine.
I just saw my naturopath, she increased my mag glycinate to 2 before bed, 50mg . 5htp and increased my cbd oil. Since going off hrt because Hormone positive breast cancer.She said my nervous system and my hormones are really low. So hopefully my g p will give me the trazadone.
I had breast cancer 30 years ago and had the same sleep issues after HRT therapy. It left me with fibromyalgia and sleepless nights. I tried all the prescriptions they gave me. Only clonazapam has worked for me. Is it worth it to “try” all those “natural “ remedies and still only (maybe) get 6 hour sleep? That sounds like a LOT to be taking.
