I checked your profile to e-mail ya....but it's not listed. Mine is Ruchily@yahoo.com
I was on lexapro and it helped me out. I was also on amytryptaline and then nortryptaline. For sleep I was on ambien for a bit. But I encourage you to try magnesium malate for sleep. It has helped me more than ANYTHING when it comes to getting a good night sleep. You can also eat a banana as it has calming effects. But I would try one thing at a time so you know what's working!
I am off all meds right now. I am controlling the fibro with diet and lifestyle changes. This does NOT mean the fibro is gone or that my life is perfect. But things are MUCH better for me. PLEASE do not give up hope...
And please don't spend a lot of time at fibrohugs.com chat room. The info. there is helpful....but for me at least, reading the posts depressed me and left me with little hope. Stick around here...Linz, Tissy, Nelly, Laura, and all us fibromites are POSITIVE and that is the BEST medicine! Being depressed takes away another spoon as it uses up negative energy. (NOT easy to be positive...that's why we're here to help you smile!)
The best suggestion I was given on the boards when Iw as diagnosed was to CHILL and take some ME time and to get some good books on fibro and read a little each day to get informed.
I was also given a lot of ((((((((hugs))))))))
And support. And love.
So be sure to let me know if you need anything...let any of us know! We've been where you are......so we understand.
"miss Heather...you're fibro frog fighter is here!"
Sending you love, prayers, gentle hugs, and a heating pad,
