None of the pdocs that I've seen have ever taken my fatigue seriously. When I tell tham I'm not depressed they just aren't interested. Most pdocs in the UK seem to think that Effexor is the answer to everyone's problems. I'd like to try Provigil but it's very rarely prescribed here- my last pdoc hadn't even heard of it. My new pdoc refered my to a psychologist but the waiting list is 8 months and I'd only get about 10 sessions at the most.

Hi Ed... I didn't think I had problems with depression for the longest time. I thought I just had problems with energy, motivation, confidence, which would go away once I ate better, or got some underlying medical problem solved. As the years went by I think my depression slowly crept up on me. Perhaps that's the difference between atypical and melancholic depression... especially a mild form of atypical=dysthymia which may be more subtle. MAOI's are supposed to be the best AD's for atypical depression as I'm sure you've heard.

I'm sure you will find a sympathetic doctor soon if you keep plugging away. Keep it up!

Brian
