Guest guest Posted April 1, 2002 Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Every one is different. Most phychiatrists prescribe meds. Phychotherapists or clinical phychologists are helpful with dealing with the problems. I took elavil or amitritolyne (sp?) but it left me too groggy. Now am taking guifenesin for nighttime aching and calcium citrate and magnesium at night to help with sleeping. Hope you find the right solution for you. This group can at least give you some options. Choose your therapist carefully. Lovingly, Star --- starqueg2 RT1024@...> wrote: > Hey everyone. I was just diagnosed with Fibro last > week.
