I take Neurontin and I find it helps....! I tried Lyrica for awhile, however it did not help as much. I have read all the negative/ scarey stuff about Neurontin, but Lyrica has been on the market about 3 seconds.....so I think you have to take what you are more comfortable with. I absolutely get more relief with Neurontin!

do you think antidepressants really work? i mean, theres no evidence that they perform any better than a placebo. they certainly didnt work for me.

Many of the tri-cyclics work very well for FM.The biggest problem is the side-efects that come with them.Some of the side-effects do reduce and the effectiveness of the tri-cyclics is well proven.
They help with pain,energy and sleep.In some people they may lose effectiveness over time.
Something like a low dose impramine with say a low dose opiate is a good combo for FM pain.The imipramine(tri-cyclic anti-depressant) also helps reduce tolerance to the opiate as well.

I agree with what JokerOwling said, but would just add that tri-cyclics may not be good for people who have both fibromyalgia and RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome), because they will likely make the RLS worse. Same goes to some extent for flexeril.
