What antidepressant is prescribed more than others for fibromyalgia?

There are two antidepressants commonly used to treat Fibromyalgia, they are Savalla and Cymbalta. Both Savella and Cymbalta are serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), similar to many other antidepressants; however, it is not considered an antidepressant, and is approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia. Cymbalta, however, is used to treat not only Fibromyalgia but also depression, anxiety, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A doctor may prescribe either of these for Fibromyalgia. As with any medication, different people react differently so one may work better for a particular person than another. It is important to understand that doctors do not prescribe these medications to Fibromyalgia patients to treat depression, but rather because they have been proven to decrease the joint and muscle pains associated with Fibromyalgia.

The name of the new fibromyalgia medicine?
Lyrica is being prescribed for fibromyalgia. Lyrica acts on GABA neurotransmission in the body, like Neurontin - increasing a person's threshold for pain. It should be noted that while Lyrica is being promoted for fibromyalgia, the study performed on Lyrica for the treatment of fibromyalgia did not have overwhelming positive results. The numbers were just enough that they could claim it was helpful. The company still chose to market Lyrica for the treatment of FMS because it gives them a further five years on their patent, so no other company can try and make a generic drug. Cymbalta has had more success with the treatment of fibromyalgia.
