Hi everyone,

I am just wondering from anyone who has tried both of these drugs which one works best to relax muscle spasms? I was on Sertraline for anxiety but had side effects so came off before I had chance to see if it helped with Fibromyalgia muscular pains.

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks.

I am taking both of these sertraline in mornings and amitriptyline at night, so can't say which work best. But i am sure someone will be able help.
