i totally know how you feel cj - and all i can say is that i havent found the answer yet either - although somedays i feel like giving up and sleeping all day and night with the help of a sleeping agent (which i did this past weekend) and somedays i have enough energy to actually get up and function for a few hours. im a mom too, and an artist by profession so walking around with a cigarette in pajamas driving my son to karate is somewhat 'expected' or 'accepted' - but i dont want to live my life this way.
im officially done with week 4 on lex and most of the side effects are gone now, however the depression still remains. i took 20 mgs of ritalin today just to get myself out of bed because i have a project that is overdue and if i dont submit something soon i will have to pay late penalties.
hope your journey is better than mine - i had to take lex both during the day and at night to find the perfect time...but havent found a good time yet. until then i just keep experimenting. if it doesnt work within a few weeks then i might have to try yet another ad// *sigh*
good luck to you!
