hi jbec,
sorry you're going through such a rough time. it's even harder when you feel like you can't get doctors to listen to you. anyway, i have experienced similar problems with the fatigue and difficulty losing weight. about two years ago i was diagnosed with hypothyroid disorder, which can produce a lot of the symptoms you describe, incl fatigue, weight gain (or difficulty losing), mood swings, sadness, etc. i also have chronic depression. i take effexor xr, strattera (for depression and difficulty focusing) and synthroid for the thyroid problem.
has anyone given you a blood test? i would request that, for sure...in the meantime, hang in there and don't give up.
