Default any particular medication or treatment options for CFS/fibro?

what is the best medication or treatment options for CFS/fibro?

or what ones have u tried that u hav success with?

I take gabapentin 300 mg, lexapro 10mg, klonopin .5mg prn, buspar 30-40mg(5HT1a agonist) helpful, pamelor 25mg, and i once took topamax but now am no longer taking it.

I'm reading a book that says calcium channel blockers are helpful, but it seems that when i talk to doctors they say that they are too much of a hindrance in terms of side effects. is there any truth to that answer?

would clonidine(which is an alpha adrenergic2 agonist) amantidine, or mirapex(dopamine agonist) be helpful?? sudafed and guaifenisin, seems to help me as sudafed(phenylephrine) is an alpha adrenergic1 agonist)

it seems that any drug that is an agonist is helpful to me, cuz the antagonists ones just seem to drag me down. any drug that antagonizes and hits the 5HT1a, H1, m1-m5, or 5HT2 receptors, seems to make me irritable/tired/fatigued especially if it hits it hard. like many of the tricyclics/neuroleptics do.
