> After I graduated college in 1995 - I was in bed for 2 years. Then, I got put on an SSRI + Stim combo and worked for 2 years then slumped back into depression. I finally moved to MN about 5 years ago and have been working ever since - however, my depression has taken a toll on my work attendance. I got protection under the ADA and FLMA through our Disability Services dept. which allowed me to take 12 weeks off last summer for another med change. However, since October 2004 when I went back to work, I've missed on average at least 1 day /week. Fortunately my employer has been accomodating allowing me to make up missed time, etc. Now, I'm seriously thinking about going to grad school.

> Hope this helps!It sounds like you're a real fighter. To be having that much trouble and still be able to move to different states and contemplate going to grad school is impressive. Personally, I'm on disability, and can't imagine working right now. I was missing at least a day a week before I stopped working, and had to do everything I could to hide it.
Good luck in whatever you do. Oh, and thanks for answering all my questions!
