Hi again,
Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to add something that I guess I could have clarified in my last posting also. I have tried SSRIs and they have been very helpful, (even a little bit with the waking up in the morning), unfortunately because of the weight gain, I had to stop taking them. I was on Prozac first and in four months, went from being a thin and healthy person, to gaining over 80 pounds and suddenly having problems with my feet and hip when walking or standing, and with my cholesterol going up a great deal. Once I was completely off of it for a year, I lost a great deal of the weight. Later, I tried Lexapro because it was supposed to not cause weight gain, or only a little but unfortunately I've gained back most of the weight I worked so hard to lose (with no decrease in physical activity and no increase in calorie consumption). So, I'm weaning off of Lexapro. That's why I thought Seroctin might work as an alternative.
