Tonmya is FDA-approved for fibromyalgia pain: Would you try it?

Hello everyone,

After more than 15 years without new treatment options, the FDA has just approved Tonmya for adults living with fibromyalgia. It’s designed to be taken at bedtime and acts by targeting the nonrestorative sleep that often fuels widespread pain and fatigue in fibro.

🧪 In two major trials (RELIEF and RESILIENT), Tonmya helped significantly reduce pain compared to placebo. Patients in the studies were adults aged 18–65 who met the official fibromyalgia criteria and had pain scores of 4 or higher at baseline.

💤 One unique feature? Tonmya works differently from other treatments by targeting sleep-related pathways believed to play a key role in fibromyalgia symptoms.

🚫 Of course, like many meds, Tonmya isn’t perfect. Some people in the trials reported side effects like dry mouth, fatigue, tingling or pain in the mouth, and drowsiness. It also comes with precautions and is not recommended for people with certain heart conditions, thyroid disorders, or liver issues. It won’t be available until later this year.

🗣️ So let’s open it up to you:

• Have you heard of Tonmya before? Would you be willing to try it?
• What are your thoughts on targeting sleep quality as a way to treat fibromyalgia pain?
• How do you feel about a new medication finally being approved after so long?
