The kind of relief or medication should be applied according to the needs of the patient having fibromyalgia (a chronic condition characterized by fatigue, widespread pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and multiple tender points). Having this kind of chronic illness, it is very rare for a fibromyalgia patient to be given only one of the fibromyalgia medications. It’s far more likely that a combination will be used once the patient and the doctor determine what works best for the patient’s needs. Medicines like antidepressants, over the counter pain killers, and specific medications for the other symptoms like IBS and anxiety are used to provide the most total relief possible. The constant flood of new information fibromyalgia doctors are given helps them make the decisions about medications that can keep the fibromyalgia patient doing well and live back their normal days.
