> Thanks! Per my doctor's instructions I'm to be on 600mg for a week and then get the blood levels checked. So I'm doing that tomorrow, and I have a followup appointment after that. I'm just so lethargic and apathetic, I can't imagine that this is the right med for me.

Now, all I have to do is find a new pdoc and I'll be all set.
Thanks for all your thoughts.
