>Nothing is trivial, I appreciate any and all information! I know that exercise is supposed to produce endorphins, and I agree that I should indeed get more exercise. I am deconditioned but am in good physical shape for working out (low cholesterol, low blood pressure, normal body weight, etc.). I did want to comment on one thing, however, and that is how odd I find it that THE ONLY THING that elevates my mood is the Vicodin. Tylenol with codeine does absolutely nothing. Isn't that weird? I am just becoming convinced that people's brains can be wired very differently and in some cases respond differently to certain medications. Thanks again for your always welcome input!
