      Thanks for your good cheer. It is nice to recieve a positive note. Hang in there with the meds. It took a long time for any to work for me for very long but we finally did. I just had to have a med increase due to depression but after about 10 days I felt better. Hate to have to take so much medicine but I hate the depression worse. I am glad you get out and walk. Fresh air and sunshine is good for us.
