Okay I'm sure you guys do not want to hear this, but here goes anyways. I have been on a trip to hell for the last 6 years, and AD's provided no relief for me. I have tried just about every AD on the market, and I either could not tolerate the side effects or they were useless.
For the last 2 weeks, I have been on the Atkins Diet, and I am here to tell you that I am improving every day. I have not felt this good since the beast nearly crippled me in 1994. I urge all of you to buy a copy of the book ,and give it a whirl. This is the only diet I have ever been on that I am not hungry or have uncontrollable cravings. I am exercising for the first time in 3 years, and I am much more mentally alert. The first week, however, was rough. I was fatigued quite a bit, but I made it through the adjustment. I feel so much better. The improvement is dramatic, and I know that I am going to continue seeing improvement. You have nothing to lose by trying it, and I'm sure you will see a huge difference as I have. This is probably only good for those of you who have a weight problem in addition to your depression. I did not start the diet, however, to try and lose weight. I began it to see if it would help me mentally. It has, and if I lose some unwanted weight in the process, GREAT! Please give it a try.
