Eysenck's personality model and medication use (antidepressants, anxiolytics, non-opioid analgesics and opioids) in patients with FMS. The severity of clinical symptoms and comorbid depression and anxiety disorders were evaluated for their potential mediation and moderation effects on these associations.
