> You might try Lamictal. It is activating and very good for depression too.
Dr CattleProd did say that that was an option he'd want to try, but I did try that last year -- with fairly disasterous results. Of course -- long story, not worth going into right now -- that was one of the "hey, let's stop these three drugs and try these other four over here!" prescriptions from Dr EyeCandy. It's possible that it wasn't the Lamictal, but I'm still kinda hestitant to try it, you know? If it was the Lamictal -- well, I'm not eager to experience anything like that again...
On the other hand, if nothing else gets me past this sort of sluggishness, I will probably try it.

Or, of course, it could just be that I've still got some residual depression going on...
Oh, yeah, and there's also a hit of stress that happened last week, which I'm sure also figures in some... Still, stressors happen in all lives, and if I can't handle something like this one, then I'm not near enough real remission...
Thanks.
