Sorry to hear this dmo. Is it worth making an appt. with GP to see if you need to change AD's.

Wish i could could be of more help, sending a hug in case you need it.

dmo - classic depression symptoms. I don't know what you can do to get yourself motivated as I usually sit the weeks out until the phase passes. Can you do horrible stuff like shopping on-line? That will save you some energy. Get your dh and kids to help with the decorations. Then, even if you only watch from the sidelines, it might help you feel a little more festive...

Hope you feel better soon. WEhat ADs are you on? Maybe it is time for a change?

I was on Escitalopram (Cipralex rather than Cipramil) and they stopped working for me. Maybe it is time for a change...
