Anyone else with Fibro/Pain get this way too? If so what besides Neurontin, Cymbalta and Lyrica help? I've been taking a flexeril before bed but it's not helping. I'm thinking my next step is Benadryl?

Yes I have the same thing and the best thing that has helped so far is 1600 to 2000 mg of magnesium. I also take flexoril at night or when I get the shakes and tremors. I would suggest you check with your Dr. to make sure he agrees with the Magnesium amount. My Dr. is thrilled I've finally found something that is helping. Good luck Mag23.
