description <i>Salvia amarissima</i> Ortega is an endemic species of Mexico used in folk medicine to alleviate pain and as a nervous tranquilizer. The <i>S. amarissima</i> extract and one of its abundant metabolites, identified and isolated through chromatographic techniques, were investigated to obtain scientific evidence of its potential effects to relieve nociplastic pain such as fibromyalgia. Then, the extract and amarisolide A (3–300 mg/kg, i.p.) were pharmacologically evaluated in reserpine-induced fibromyalgia-type chronic pain and in depressive-like behavior (as a common comorbidity) by using the forced swimming test in rats. The 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> serotonin receptor (selective antagonist WAY100635, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) was explored after the prediction of a chemical interaction using in silico analysis to look for a possible mechanism of action of amarisolide A. Both the extract and amarisolide A produced significant and dose-dependent antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic effects in rats, as well as significant antidepressive behavior without sedative effects when the antinociceptive dosages were used. The 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> serotonin receptor participation was predicted by the in silico descriptors and was corroborated in the presence of WAY100635. In conclusion, <i>S. amarissima</i> possesses antihyperalgesic, antiallodynic, and anti-depressive activities, partially due to the presence of amarisolide A, which involves the 5-HT<sub>1A</sub> serotonin receptor. This pharmacological evidence suggests that <i>S. amarissima</i> and amarisolide A are both potential alternatives to relieve pain-like fibromyalgia.
