Hi, have you tried amitriptyline? I tried it a couple of years ago but gave up after a week as it didn't feel it helping, but I was prescribed it recently for my carpal tunnel pain and it's been great for my fibro symptoms too. It doesn't help you get to sleep as a sleeping table would do, but it helps you sleep better and longer.

Definitely see your GP if you're really struggling.

I did try them but they gave me really dark thoughts so they took me off them
