depression. she has been good for a while and went off the drugs,

and not it seems to appear again..... feel free to respond, thanks,

I am depressed, and the doc thinks it is a " biological " depression,

as she

puts it, because it's not about some specific problems. Well, I

know there

is a specific problem too(sex drive), but I do feel that to be a

side-effect

somewhat. Anyhow, I have tried various anti-depressants, with mixed

results: paxil, wellbutrin and effexor for the most part. Effexor

was quite

effective in dealing with my mood really. Anyhow, kinda thought it

was time

to come off of the meds, but now, kind of gradually I feel like I am

slipping back into sadness, irritability and general 'tired-of-life'

feeling. By tired-of-life I mean that sometimes I feel like it all

just

weighs on me too much, not like I want to die or anything. But the

thing

is, life is good and I have no major problems, so I don't know why I

get

these feelings. I don't think I have any major family history of

depression, but sometimes that's hard to know. I think my dad may

have had

some depression in his life. margaret
