> You might also discover that you need to take some action on your own, since meds are probably only part of the solution. It's boring, but vigorous exercise, fish oil & a multi-vit with some extra D, a therapist you trust (since it's unlikely to be your pdoc), and maybe meditation / relaxation exercises (take a look at Jon Kabbat-Zinn's materials), might need to be added to your treatment.unfortunately, i've been taking such measures over the past two years and don't have a tonne to show for it. i exercise everyday, eat impeccably (almost obsessively) well, talk to a therapist who i love once a week. that's why when i was told i'm not very depressed, or not even given some kind of explanation for my symptoms, i kind of just gave up and have spent the past month - on and off - in bed. i mean if i'm not depressed enough to warrant medication, and i've reached the ceiling of my functionality, then i'm at a loss.
