You didn't specify which drug but In June 2007, the FDA approved the first drug to treat fibromyalgia, Lyrica (pregabalin). In June 2008, the FDA approved the use of Cymbalta in for management of Fibromyalgia. However, doctors have prescribed (and continue to prescribe) a broad range of prescription and over-the-counter medications to treat this difficult condition, with varying levels of success.

Most experts believe that medications play an important role in treating fibromyalgia, but that they should only be one aspect of a wider treatment program .

Here is a list of Fibromyalgia medication used in the treatment process: Cymbalta

Lyrica (pregabalin)

Pain medications

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

Antidepressants

Benzodiazepines
