Racer,
I know what you mean. I probably need to make that apointment with a pdoc. But I don't think I can face the demand to go on all these drugs that will make me fatter, make me feel more stupid, and cause more hot flashes than a menopausal woman already has to put up with! I've really struggled to lose 35 lb put on by psych drugs and depression. I need to lose much more, and the thought of having to take meds that will make that even harder or impossible just about puts me over the edge!
I just had a ton of blood work done and guess what? I'm totally normal except for slightly high cholestoral. So there is NO REASON for my extreme fatigue and apathy except for depression. I'm thinking of upping my fish oil. I'm really toying with the idea of trying Cymbalta (my internist had even suggested it), but I want to start VERY low and go very slow like Barbaracat is doing. I'm not sure he will buy that.
Just know you are NOT alone. There are others out there who feel just like you do.
Hugs,
MidnightBlue
