Fibromyalgia can be treated but it is a slow and patience requiring process. Apart from medicine (1 of which is Fluoxetine), exercise and stress relief/ counselling are also important for treatment. Based on the report, your mother may be suffering from Sjogren's syndrome in addition. Detailed history and a few investigations will be required for confirmation
Next Steps
Consult a Rheumatologist
