Hi Tracy,
Sorry life feels so awful for you right now. I can be of no help to you, but am sure there are people here who can. In the meanwhile, you are in my thoughts & prayers.

> Ok -- I am miserable. I am fatigued, sleep somewhere between 10-16 hours a day; zone off at my desk; feel like I am moving in slow-mo. Achey. Urinate non-stop. Up several times a night b/c of this latter issue. Forgetful -- like midsentence I can't remember what I was saying.. Can't concentrate -- which is a major problem with my first year of law school starting next week. I Lost 40lbs two years ago, went on celexa for depression, gained it all back and thensome (was on Meridia, and had to exercise 1.5 hours a day to get it off). Binge eating. Went on Wellbutrin to combat fatigue. Off celexa and wellbutrin, now on Effexor xr 150mg.

> I went in to my gp today, for a physical, at the urging of my pdoc, who thinks it might be a thyroid problem. It was tested a year ago, and it was smack in the middle of the range. This time, she also requested a cbc w/histogram diff; checm 7 profile; liver profile;ESR Westergren; TSH, T3, T4-Free.

> She gave me a script for Trazadone -- to take at night. And, I am not sure why? To sleep better? But I sleep like a rock, except when I am running to the toilet. And, it says that it will make me sleepy during the day. I don't need to be any more sleepy. She said it would boost the effexor? My pdoc is out for the week, and the two of them are suppose to talk next week.

> Help. Help. what is wrong with me??? And, do I bother to take this new pill? < I am really beginning to hate pills... > INSIGHT please. before I go mad.
