Medication for Better Sleep

People with FM often have unhealthy sleep patterns, so you want medicine to help improve your overall sleep quality. For those who sleep better, they might find other FM symptoms less severe.

However, discuss with your healthcare professional if you believe you need medication to help achieve sound and deep sleep. Your GP may recommend an over-the-counter medication to help sleep better. But, in some cases, where OTC remedy fails, they may prescribe a short course of stronger drugs. Equally, some antidepressants are also useful in improving your sleep quality.

Aside from medications, there are other treatment options to help relieve FM pain.
