bobd,
It's good that you are seeking treatment for depression. It's something we all deal with and it comes in waves or cycles for me. I'd like to say it goes away, but I don't know if it will or won't. This week has been especially bad for me. But I press on and try to treat everyday that I'm alive and with my family as a gift from God. We really aren't in control here all we can do is try to live healthier, follow the advice of our doctors, hope and pray this beast doesn't come around again. I hope the medication works out for you and gives you back your energy to keep you going.
