Most medications for fibromyalgia patients include pain meds, muscle relaxers, or meds that work on the central nervous system. Nonsteroidal pain meds, opioids, muscle relaxers, or drugs that work on the central nervous aystem that interrupt the pain loop so that the brain doesn't sense the pain that is there-such as Gabapentin, Neurontin, Cymbalta, Savella. All drugs have side effects, some more severe and effect people differently. Nonsteroidals can damage the gut, opioids have other effects, the cns drugs can cause cognitive dysfunction and in most cases a lot of weight gain. More recent drugs are a low dose nasal spray of the narcotic inhibitor Narcan. This can be used in the lower dosage in patients on opioids. The latest FDA approved drug is a bedtime low dosage of sublingual cyclobenzaprine called Tonmyia. And lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise and good sleep hygiene are important.
