I am going to my dr today and I wanted to know some suggestions of meds I could take for energy. I am so tired all the time and I sleep alot. Any suggestions on what everyone takes would be greatly appreciated !

Missa, some of the anti-depressants help with sleep, both getting better sleep at night and also daytime grogginess. You may have to try several different ones before you find one that works for you, it's not an exact science.

Missa! Sorry you are feeling run-down. Like Rachel said there are meds that can help improve the quality of sleep(I take Trazadone). My problem often IS the meds: any number of meds can make you sedated. I don't know if Fibro people feel side effects more, but it doesn't take much to leave me in La-La Land. Sometimes a different med can be substituted, but nothing has helped in my own case. God bless, Al

Missa, the best thing I have found for sleep is a magnetic mattress. I have tried medications and it doesn't compare.

Co-Enzyme Q10. No prescription needed and you can find it at any drug store. I would take 100 mg a day in the am. to start. Make sure the capsules are nice bright yellow (good quality). It cant hurt you, there are no side effects. It is also great for the cardio vascular system. Really helped me.
