Other medications I take, but not on the daily basis are:

Relpex (for migraines)
Klonopin (for sleep... rarely take it)

And my protocol treatment is homeopathic, but just as effective as prescription medications !  ; ^ )

B12 Complex ---- important for all of us

Magnesium --- important for all of us

Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils or flax seed) --- important for CFS/fibro --- helps w/ low grade inflammation

COQ10 --- important for CFS, as we have heart problems

ACTYL Carnitine --- important for CFS/fibro

I voted 5-10 but I don't take meds specifically prescribed for fibro.  They are for the stuff that goes along with it....

singulair, xyzal, omnaris (chemical sensitivities and regular allergies)
synthroid
topamax (migraines)
wellbutrin

After being seriously overmedicated for 4 years before my dx....I'm also very careful about what meds I take and how they interact.  I didn't have any luck with flexeril, amitriptyline or cymbalta.  I took vioxx for years and felt great on it....

I voted 10-20.

Meds:
Propranolol (palpitations), Armour Thyroid, Protonix

Vitamins:
B12 complex, A, D3, multi-vitamin, C  

Supplements:
Immune support, adrenal support, heart/lung support, Jernigan's, L-Lysine, Omega-3, CoQ10, magnesium, milk thistle, olive leaf, red root

And that's after cutting a few supplements out and I've probably thrown away at least 10 different prescriptions because I refuse to take too many drugs to mask my symptoms which my doctors seem more intent on doing.
