Did any of the drugs you tried help you? It sounds like you are no longer taking them. Can you explain any benefit the drugs offered and side effects? I'm not taking any drugs, but my flares are very painful and last a couple months. I just starting working with a functional medicine Dr and starting several vitamins and supplements.

The Gabapentin/pregabalin had no effect and made me nauseous. The cymbalta did not help the fibromyalgia symptoms and was not helping my depression. I was on elavil for migraines rx by my former neurologist (he was a good dude, I miss him) but it did not help any symptoms. (Side note, Aimovig has saved my life re: migraines.) Initially, flexeril was helpful but stopped working after not too long. These are things I have tried, repeatedly. If I’m missing anything that could possibly help, anyone, I’m open to suggestions.
