What Causes Body Aches, Extreme Fatigue And Severe Insomnia When Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia?

after complaining of the following symptoms, pain all over, extreme fatigue, extreme insomnia my doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I m taking Cymbalta which is helping with the pain and somewhat with the fatigue but I am still having debilitating insomnia. My doctor prescribed restoril first and that took 3 to 4 hours before I would fall asleep and then felt groggy and no energy the next day. Next we went to Ambien and it also took 3 to 4 hrs or more to kick in, but not as groggy in the morning. Now we are on Trazodone 50 mg. Took it at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday night and was still awake at 4:15 in the morning. Had to call in sick to work. What medications would you recommend to help me get to sleep quickly? Once I m asleep, I seem to stay asleep but so far I have not been able to induce sleep until 2, 3, or 4 in the morning even when I take the pills at 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. Thank you k

Hello,

It is all part of fibromyalgia complex. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
