40+ years ago I was on Amitriptyline following surgery after a tubal pregnancy. I couldn't exercise because of the surgery. I know exercise helps, but presently I can't exercise following foot surgery. I have these good intentions and think I could at least be doing strength training, but I just can't motivate myself or have the interest to do much of anything.
About 20 years ago I was on an antidepressant (SSNRI). It seemed to work. However, after a period of time when I wanted to discontinue it, the withdrawal was horrible. My doctor had to give me a written plan for withdrawal. I think it took 3-4 months to withdraw.
I just don't know what to do. Thanks for the reply BB. I like your plan and it's probably the one I will try to follow.
As an afterthought - I don't know if I need to increase serotonin, dopamine or both.

I think it's ironic that I have such a sensitivity to medicine and yet am an alcoholic.
