> I know have mentioned this before in other posts, but I have a question about it. Today my aches and pain were really bad. I was out with a friend and we were sitting down. It HURT so much to get up. Everything hurt! It hurt the most in my hip bones. Anyhow, I took two extra strength Tylenol and they helped with the aches and pains I have in my body. If depression is causing these pains, would Tylenol be able to help the way it did?

> I am so exhausted most of the time. Not tired, but exhausted. A coupld of nights last week I went to bed at 7:30 pm. Usually I go to bed at midnight and I only sleep 4 hours a night. I need more sleep now.

> I saw my endo about 5-6 weeks ago and everything was ok with my thyroid. I told her about my pain and she didn't ask me any questions about it.

> I hurt every day. At work I take Tylenol during the day to help ease the pain. I hate taking so much Tylenol ... but it helps and it's hard to teach when I am in so much pain and discomfort.

> That was a long winded way of asking if Tylenol helps, does that still mean that it's my depression causing the pain?Yes depression sometimes causes the body to shutdown the production of endorphins and you will than have aches and pains. I've read your posts and know you have used parnate. My p-doc has used parnate in addition to my lamictal when I've had flareups of my sciatica. So the combo of parnate added to my lamictal brought really good pain relief. OH my yes and he added suboxone to that mix and that worked great. Oh yes that will bring a smile to your face! Once the depression was under control he just went with lamictal. I do miss my little combo! Should I have old him my depression was gone? lol...teh he..oh well..I did feel really good while that lasted and good pain relief. I promise you that
