Could anyone advise me i need a good altenative for Fibro pain/ sleep aid but fed up with amitryptiline as side effects no great- ie groggy in the mornings which is the last thing i need!! I need to know of a couple of good options before I see the GP as he is clueless about Hashi!! I see a private endo for my thyroid but need a NHS prescription for this.

Thank you any help appreciated!!

Look into LDN (Low dose Naltrexone)

It's an immune regulator with few easy and passing side effects. It's also cheap!

It's especially effective for fibromyalgia and other autoimmune conditions like Hashimotos. For many it has been life changing!
