Okay, so I've been on my medication now for 8 weeks and I'm seeing a difference...........small and not well yet but seeing a difference. I want to know if this is it or will it just keep getting better? I try to keep positive and I do all things that I need to do and try to keep a happy face and smile, but I'm definitely not myself yet and it scares me. I've come out of this three times with years inbetween so why would this one be different? It won't stop here right? Maybe I just need a few more weeks. I want complete remission again. I take Wellbutrin/Lexapro and my doctor upped the lexapro last week to 15mg and then 20mg and I ake a low dose of Wellbutrin...so maybe when I get to 20mg, I'll forget this happened. It's almost like Post traumatic stress disorder now - because it was so horrible to go through this for 9 months until I started to feel better. I just need to go on and not let it bother me anymore.......but it will go away right or keep getting better - I'm a firm believer in the meds working along with what I'm doing.

I'm glad to hear that you are getting a good response from your meds. No one can tell you whether things will continue to get better. Just keep taking good care of yourself and hoping. Hugs.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
