Dear- There are several options in treatment of fibromyalgia. First of all, diet and lifestyle modifications is very important. In addition to this, a good exercise program. In terms of medication, there is one named Savella that is not an antidepressant but specifically indicated for fibromyalgia. This medication does not make sure feel hungry or craving and can help you with the pain.
