Alternative to amitriptyline (for fibromyalgia) during pregnancy ...?

I have taken amitryiptyline (elavil) 50mg a night for 7 years for my fibromyalgia. It works wonders. Now I am ready to become pregnant but read it's not safe to use during that time. What other meds treat fibromyalgia? Are they safe during pregnancy?

You should really discuss this with your doctor. I agree alternative therapies that dont require you to consume anything will probably be the choice you will have. I have heard some patients do well with massage, warm water therapy, accupuncture, yoga, biofeedback, light therapy with full spectrum lights,exercise, dietary changes may all be areas you want to explore. I dont think only one thing will be your answer but rather a combination of several.

Please be careful with herbal stuff, they havent been fully tested and you really have no way of knowing if they are good for the baby.
Good luck!
