Nope :-( She said she would only test those if the TSH came back high.

Hang in there. I've been there, done it or something similar to
it.Ihave to say you are very prodactive even in this trying
circumstenses. Did you try working out? It held me together when I was
falling apart.I had it happend to me. I saw my best friend struggle
with a few bouts of major depression. It gave me both insiders and
outsiders view of this monster. When it happends to you you feel it's
there forever. It will go away. Don't give up. Take good care of
yourself. Don' be hard on yourself. What had worked for me was a
combination of meds and therapy. The effort is worth it.

Working out is always good. I have an elliptical trainer that I was using
daily for a long time, just haven't recently. I had to lay off for a couple
of weeks after my last round of visco supplementation for my knee, then we
went on the cruise and I haven't gotten back in the routine. But then
again, going up and down all these stairs is certainly a workout! I'll make
a point of getting on it at least 10 minutes tomorrow. I was up to 40
minutes a day, but when I stop I have to work back up slowly because I have
no ACL in my right knee. Thanks for reminding me!

Thanks lisa. I hope so too. I had no luck with Seroquel, it knocked me
out. Zyprexa made me very drowsy and hungry! I called it my pot pills. It
played hell with my blood sugar level. Right after I told my doc I refused
to take it any more, the manufacturer came out with the warning that it was
not a good idea for diabetics. Well duh! Maybe this one will help, it's
worth a try and I can stop if I have bad side effects.
How are you doing?

How are you doing?
i have the same problem with seroquel, which is why i now only
take it at night as a sleeping pill. it leaves me hung over,
but right now it's the only thing that works. the last time i
took zyprexa, i gained ten pounds in two weeks. i quit it. i
couldn't take depaoke, either, but that's just me. i'm doing
pretty well, in general, with abilify and lamictal on top of
my parnate. it seems like a lot of meds, but it's a good
combination for me.
i'm doing better than i was. the problem with my son got me
motivated, as health problems always do, in myself or loved
ones. unfortunately, i'm still running on adrenaline. i hope i
don't crash again now that i'm starting to relax and accept
that he has this condition.

Yep, Zyprexa will put weight on you fast, and boy does that help lift the
depression! LOL!

Yes, that's the mother instinct in you. I hope you find another
distraction, a positive one this time :-)
And speaking of distractions, I promised someone last night that I would do
10 minutes on the elliptical today. I'll do that right now. You will
recognize me when I come back, I'll be the one gasping for air and limping
:-)

so how did it go?
Did my 10 minutes and hardly broke a sweat :-) Then I did some laundry
since I was already in the basement. Next, I put a nice dinner in the oven,
sat down on the sofa, and promptly passed out. Woke up to the smell of
burning food. Guess I over did it a bit.
But Bruce ate it anyway and said it was delicious, just as he always does
:-)
