I m not sure of any of this and I do not like taking drugs. I am 64 yrs. old. what should I be taking for headaches? they seem to go away when I have a cup of coffee. Does this drug really help with what I have mentioned??

Actually I should say by seeing from my eyes it is just doubling the problem. You have first of all Caffeine addiction and then now you will have Amphetamines to add to that.
My advice to you is to quit coffee or tea for ever by first decreasing its intake frequency and then finally quitting it.
Getting not enough sleep is a Pandemic now as I can see in this forum too. You have to get enough sleep to get ready to spend the next day well Sir. See a good Psychiatrist for help regarding Caffeine addiction and sleep disturbance. At least you can get some sedative for peace of your sleep.
For fibromyalgia , you can take some other good pain killer like Meloxicam or Noroco tabs. The risk of getting hooked up with Opiates is still less dangerous that Amphetamine addiction.
Godspeed.
