Hi! I don't know either, but I will tell you that I have FMS and I've had it for several years!. SRI's come in the form of antidepressants!. Your doctor or rheumatologist will know what form of SRI is best for you and your Fibromyalgia symptoms!. Also, Lyrica is a good drug for a lot of people suffering from FMS!. It has helped me tremendously!. I had three very wonderful months after I began taking it; however, I didn't continue to feel as well after that period of time was over!. My doctor just increased my dosage and I'm hopeful that it will help!. Chronic fatigue is my worst complaint along with back pain!. I haven't found an answer to regaining much needed energy yet!. If you are suffering from chronic fatigue also, please ask your doctor about any treatments for that symptom!. I do take vitamin B complex and calcium, but I also have Scleroderma, so I have some rather complex health issues!. I would encourage you to do everything you can to not let this get you down!. See a rheumatologist if you haven't already!. Go to a specialist!. Get plenty of sleep, but try to be as active as you can, even if you don't feel well enough, but don't over-exert yourself or lift heavy things or your body will pay the price!. My heart goes out to you!. This is a dreadful illness and I'm just hoping and praying that a cure will be found so that we all can enjoy our lives more!. Good luck to you and God bless you!.

I have fibromyalgia and the medication they are currently saying is the best treatment is called Cymbalta!. I checked with my doctor and he said they haven't actually proven to his satisfaction that it actually helps!. I have taken SRI's in the past and they have a myriad of side effects, which in the long run made me decide to discontinue them!. One gave me ringing in my ears so loud I could not hear cars go by my house!. Another took away all sexual desire (a very common side effect and unpleasant)!. Another constipated me beyond belief!. I found that daily walking helps a lot and getting enough sleep!. Your body restores itself during sleep!. I am lucky as I can sleep for six hours while many with this condition have to take nighttime medication to stop the cramping!. I tried it but made me feel like I was walking through mud in the morning!. You may have good luck with Cymbalta!. Just know that it may cause some undesirable side effects!. Be well!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
