do you have problems with major depression?
I have had a problem with depression for quite a while. My father died in 1982 it was an apparent suicide.
or is it just for a bit in the morning?
I notice it most in the morning before I take my medications. I take medication for high blood pressure.
I have had a problem with fatigue when I take my medications. I am in the process of changing one medication (Indural) but haven't started yet.

I usually prefer herbal tea or water. I have noticed that coffee interacts with my medication.
I quit smoking over 10 years ago. I don't watch very much television.
have you discussed this with your counselor?
no.
