> I used Remeron years ago when my fibromyalgia was first diagnosed and my symptoms were not as advanced and it was a good sleep aid at 15mg, but weight gain was prominant and they switched me to trazodone and the march to find an AD that worked for pain and atypical depression began.
People with fibromyalgia often have depression as a secondary condition rather than the other way around. I am wondering whether or not focusing on the fibromyalgia wouldn't remedy both problems at once. That would indicate things like nortriptyline, Effexor, Cymbalta, Neurontin, Lyrica, Emsam, and possibly Meridia. I watched a video recently demonstrating some pretty impressive stuff with Meridia treating fibromyalgia and attendant depression.
