> So this odd ball t-shirt. Where can I find one?

Your average psychotherapist will be wearing one;-)
I actually meant I had the psychotherapy T-shirt (been there, done that etc)! I don't think I'm oddball-or at least noone says so to my face.

> >I guess when I was explaining about being depressed because of my mothers suicide... this fatigue has surfaced since.

I'm assuming you had depressive tendencies before this?

. > >You suggested that physical and psychological treatments are in order.

Some wld argue the psychological treatment is most important in yr case but even if it 'works', it's a long-haul. Given the right meds (+therapy), you can enjoy some degree of relief sooner. ...

> >.. but do you know of any AD's or something.... that won't cause the horrendous side effects I feel(and seems like you do to)...

I can only really talk about my own experiences. I"ve tried just about all the ADs, none worked, & all were to some degree unpleasant.

Don't think anyone here can say "this Ad will wk for you & you'll have no side-effects". It's the old 'yr mileage may vary' scenario.

> >My confusion is that I'm not sure where to go... I'm not sure that's what I need. . The main reason I'm looking for advice is because my pdoc.. or any doc I see.... just seem to throw samples of ad's at me....

Mmm. Sounds familiar. I'd say get a 2nd opinion, but you seem to have done that (or were they plain ol' DOCS?). Maybe, as you say, meds are not for you, but I wouldn't come to this conclusion until you have spoken to a pdoc who is aware of the alternatives to anti-depressant drugs (ie mood-stabilizers).

A toughie, especially given the 'repressed childhood memories' thang. Not something I understand myself, & I wouldn't know what the implications are for you. What I can say, w/o fear of contradiction, is that *some* therapists place too much importance on yr formative yrs (hence 'false memory syndrome').

Hope it all works out,
J
