Any tips, thoughts. Having rough time sleeping and other issues.

Over the years, I have been able to have major reductions or elimination of the meds. What worked best for me was to do a slow taper off of the er med first and then address the breakthroughs. I did it slowly to avoid major withdrawal and aggravation of the fibro. Since the fibro is an ongoing problem, I always kept a modest amount off BT on hand to control a major flare. This should not be a race. What does your doc suggest?. Best wishes.
