I am so sorry to hear that you are not diong well.  I suffer with fibromyalgia and depression.  My doctor put me on Celexa 10mg and cyclobenaprine 5 mg at bedtime.  So far its working.  You should ask your doctor about celexa or lexapro, and even a therapy program.  I work as a Flight Attendant/ Emergency Medical Technician and the treatment has helped me out grealty.  I don't want to preach to you, but what Helps me is turning to God and giving him all my troubles and let him do the work.  I will admit I am not the best Christian, but Slowly I too am learning that he is in control and his will be done through me.  I agree with Venora, keep a journal as well as a log about how you feel when you get up to the time you go to bed and see if there is a pattern.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.  Keep me posted on your progress.

  well the meds apparently arent working.have you discussed this with your doc? are you in therapy as well as meds?It takes a combo of both to beat this. bump up your exercise and try to walk briskly for at least 40 mins. this will help raise your seritoninlevel. Keep a journal as well. It is good to get out all of our thoughts down on paper. you are in my prayers.Keep me posted on your progress
Love Venora
