What Causes Excessive Sleepy, Depression, Periodic Limb Movement, Fibromyalgia?

I am female 53 years old and diagnosed with the following although it is difficult to say which came first and therefore what are symptoms of the other conditions. I recently started on madofinal which did not work and now on 6 tablets of dexamphetamine. Diagnoss have been Fibromyalgia, Periodic Limb Movement, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Depression. The dexaphetamines are not working and my Sleep specialist does not know what to do now. Is there any other conditions I may have. Otherwise all bloods, BP, etc are fine. Help!

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Periodic Limb Movement, excessive daytime sleepiness and low mood are towards depression. In that case, you can try a antidepressant like duloxetine. It is also effective in fibromyalgia and help to control some somatic complaints due to illness. Rest, you can consult with your doctor.

Thanks
