hi. I started excersizing on sunday. about 30 minutes a day at the gym. this was also the time i stopped my moclobemide which I felt was making the depression quite worse and also extremely tired. stopping meds I had more energy and i felt slightly better. I did excersize at 5pm each day starting on that sunday. I felt that perhaps it helped a tiny bit for the evening. so i kept doing it. then it felt like it wasn't helping. could the excersize improvement be gradual?over time does excersize help depression more and more? I started adrafinil on tuesday evening. wednesday was the last day i excersized because i just felt no motivation for it. it seemed on wednesday i felt quite better. but very very hard to sleep and much anxiety regarding my fiance. then thursday I felt the best I have felt in 1 and a half months. I actually felt I could have a livable life. My thinking ability was greatly improved. I was always thinking about things, including worrying about things. But the depression in general just felt quite better. I had enough motivation to do some things, and some energy. I assume many of these effects were maybe from adrafinil. but maybe mostly from the excersize?
then on friday I was starting to feel MUCH worse. mind torture returning. on thursday it was extremely hard to sleep due to anxiety. only 4 hours of sleep. adrafinil maybe helped but also created anxiety. perhaps the lack of sleep caused me to feel so much worse.
maybe it was because i wasn't excersizing anymore? just how much does excersize help? sometimes it is hard to force myself to do it. but i guess i will try to do it maybe every day.
also i feel i should give adrafinil another try. it just makes it EXTREMELY hard to sleep. if it wasn't for that then maybe it could be a good med for me. i wasn't going to take the med today but i ended up taking half a pill compared to a full pill tonight at 8:20pm. tomorrow unless i change my mind I will take it at 2pm.
