From the research I've done on depression, apparantly sometimes after you've been on the meds for a while, you need to up your dosage as your body acclimates itself. BUT it could be that you need to make some lifestyle changes. Obviously, I don't know your whole life story, just what you choose to divulge, but I'm guessing as a working mom of two and wife to Jared, you don't get a lot of time to do things for yourself. I'm sure you are beyond busy but maybe you can squeeze in a few hours a week to do something you love (other than amusing us). Have you looked into any support groups in your area? I go to one twice a month and it helps out soooo much. Of course, I'd be doing better if I could get a freakin' refill but the group does help. I'll be keep you in my prayers. I know how it is to do with depression. <em>Sheila's last blog post..<a href='http://charm-school-reject.blogspot.com/2008/02/smorgasbord-of-information.html' rel="nofollow">A Smorgasbord of Information</a></em> Since I’m catching up with all of your posts and commenting long past they’re due date (the Internet Link Gods have finally stopped hating me)so I don’t have time to read all 46 comments, so please forgive me if I do any repeats.

I absolutely couldn't take it in the morning, it made me a zombie. I take it at night and thats what's been working for me. I still have days when I want to stay in bed all day. And sometimes I do. This is the 4th antidepressant I've been on in 12 years and by far the best. I'd give it a little more time and see if it is just your brain adjusting to it's new chemical levels. My doctor told me to not make any decision about it for at LEAST 6 weeks or more. <em>Jeannie's last blog post..<a href='http://littlemisssunshinestate.blogspot.com/2008/02/chicky-pix-2.html' rel="nofollow">Chicky Girls Pix #2</a></em> I have been on Cymbalta since it came on the market (2 or 3 years?)
