I have a separate diagnosis of major depression, too, and when I get new meds that help that, the lethargy gets better, too. I find it really difficult sometimes to tell the difference between the effects of the FMS and the depression.

Jo, I also have a diagnosis of major depression. My pdoc made a very helpful comment to me. He reminded me that depression can be part of fibro. As a result I was able to tell myself to ride it out. Winter months are especially hard for me shorter days and ever changing weather are killers for me. It helps me ride out the bad days by reminding myself of what he said. I also bought a natural light floorlamp. I sit under it for awhile each night. It seems to be helping.
