There are criteria for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. These criteria mainly deal with the location and number of trigger points that are tender to palpation in addition to the chronicity of the symptoms. The older tricyclic antidepressants, such as elavil can help as stated above. Many of the newer seretonin uptake inhibitors(SSRI's) also work well and are alot safer than the tricyclics.
