The last week or so, I have been exhausted and moody and not motivated to work. I am still taking my ADs. I have been exercising less, so that might be an issue? I thought I was PMSing, and I may very well be, but it seems like my cycle is screwed up and my period may never come (I already had a million BFNs, pretty positive I am not pregnant, maybe I didn't even ovulate).
I don't know why I am posting this. I think I just needed to verbalize that I am feeling crappy and depressed again and that I need to do something about it.

Flex, you are totally right. I will try to START my day with exercising tomorrow. Because every day I say I will go for a bike ride or a run at the end of the day, but then I realize I haven't done crap at work all day and feel guilty and work (a bit) instead. Ugh.
Doglove, I started about 2 months ago. I missed my follow up appt, and I really need to book another one. Maybe you are right, I may need a higher doseage.
Hope you are feeling better soon. Waking up and working out is a great idea, too bad I am the type to hit snooze or just turn off my alarm. I wish I had that motivation.

I thought so - I started taking the same meds just after you I think. I'm on about 5 weeks or so and still trying to figure out if this is the right dose for me.
I'm sorry I hate when I know I feel like crap but I still can't stop feeling that way. Does that even make sense? I think it's definitely part of living with anxiety/depression. The knowing you can feel better, but your body or brain won't let you.
I've stopped exercising too, and it's very bad for my mood. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks guys. I tried calling my doctor but got no asnwer, sometimes his secretary leaves early. I will call back tomorrow to get an appt to increase my dosage. And I will start exercising again. I think I will got for a bike ride now. I am not working anyway.
Then tomorrow just force myself to work on things, one at a time, step by step all day. Hopefully the doc can see me soon.
I just called DH and he said we should go out for dinner tonight with the girls, instead of m rushing to do groceries and cook dinner tonight. I think it might be fun. I could do groceries later tonight when they are in bed.
