Hi Eagle. I am back at work and only catching up on the weekends. So please forgive me (I know you will) for being a late comer to the thread.

I think you are taking the same drug that I take. If so, it is a generic lexapro, but it is coupled with another drug, too. It makes total sense that a small amount would work - you aren't really depressed, just want a calmer life.

I take a really huge dose these days. When I try to go off (I constantly fight taking chemicals into my body), I craYoush and burn. One day I hope to be free of anti-depressants, but now is not the time.

But this thread is about you. smile

Could it be possible that you are suffering from either PTSD or CFS? (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

Both of these are treated differently that just depression.

And I L-O-V-E my Wii Fit! It is not high level exercise, but it is more that I usually do. And I have fun doing it! It is perfect for me.

Keep strong girl, be open and honest with your doctor and listen to your body. You know exactly what is right for you.
