>Noa,
Thanks for your response! My depression also started pre-UARS, but you can't blame us for hoping, eh? UARS is Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome---my throat closes up enough to make breathing an effort, but not actually stop it completely, as in apnea. Using the cpap does help with the constant sleepiness. I was also able to sleep an incredibly long time and was never, ever ready to get up. I'm not as sleepy now, but have discovered the distinction between sleepiness and fatigue--I had always wondered about that.
When I got off my AD's in January and still felt fatigued, I went to my primary phys. and requested to have my thyroid checked (and I was soooooo sure that would be the culprit....not!) So, I've "given up".....no,no, that isn't a good attitude.....I've decided to stop denying and get back to fighting it. I've got high hopes for WB because it's supposed to be activating and one of my biggest problems is lack of motivation---don't have it for even the things I want to do.I'm on day 5 now and day 2 for taking 300mg. I have had some trouble sleeping but it sounds like it will pass. No irritability yet, but sometimes I feel like I'm not....quite....there, ya know? It seems I'm having pretty good luck as far as side effects go, so far, though.
Hope you find the right combination of medicines.......and I hope I find the right combo......and I hope we can all live happily ever after!
