    What Sleep Meds Help You?

    Hi Everyone, I am new here. I have been dealing with Fibro since the late 1990's. I was taking Elavil for sleep for years. I was sleeping well with it but still having pain. About a year and a half ago my Doc took me off of it so I could take Zoloft in the day. I also suffer from bad PMS and...

    Hi everyone, I've been on 1200mg of gaba for about 6 months now (600x2 daily). Lately I have been feeling completely exhausted and feel like the fibro fog is in my brain again. Anyone else have this problem on gaba? Not sure if it's the meds, the fibro, or something more serious. Anyone...
