why doesn't my medication always work? such as sleep aid or muscle relaxants. I also take pain medication. But they don't have any effect on my pain during a bad relapse

maybe the meds you are on are not strong enough?? i had the same problem and then my pain doc would either switch me around to find out which ones work best or move the mg's up.

LadyJ: I too have the same problems with the pain medication that I am on for fibromyalgia. Currently, I am taking percocet for pain management. I have been on it for about three days now. The first and second time that I took it, I immediately went off to sleep and could feel the difference in my body the next day. However, i took the medicine for the third time last night and it didn't do anything for me. It didn't even put me to sleep. So once again, I spent another night without any rest. I will definitely have to speak with my doctor about this.
