By the way, cardio excercise with good peppy music a few times a week did wonders for me once I got a good habit going. I had to really force at first, and found spin classes (peer pressure, don't want to be the one person to walk out early you know) and biking outdoors (on a clear long path) to be good ways to start. I seriously can't do much mentally after a week without the cardio, and it is one of the few "lifts" I can ever truely count on.

Has anyone ever checked into your sleep, say a sleep study? I hear some drugs can negatively affect sleep architecture, like deprive you of the restorative deep sleep. In my case, we discovered that seratonin drugs robbed me of the restorative (Stage 4?) deep sleep. I had almost none of it at all, spending my nights in light sleep and REM only. Dumping all seratonin drugs was the first step to clearing me up.

I was on paxil 20 mg when I was 16 and maybe was on it for a couple months I don't remember. I am very sensitive to drugs, but since I have been on lexapro, prozac, wellbutrin, and a litany of stimulants.. this has gone on since sophmore year in highschool and I now just ended up my freshman year at college.. life has been depressing.
