> Hello there, Deneb,

> Wow! I'm impressed that you went running. I exercise nearly every day, too, but running is not my forte.LOL, who said anything about running? Running isn't really my thing either and I definitely don't exercise every day! I just went jogging on the treadmill, and only because I wanted to see if it would give me some energy. It certainly woke me up!
>I have to admit that, in all the years I've been on and off meds, exercise is still the best antidepressant and antidepressant adjunct I've found. It has very few adverse effects, and it doesn't poop out on me. It has both antidepressant and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects.
Maybe this new p-doc realizes this too. :-)
>As I mentioned in some previous messages to you, some meds, especially certain ssri's, can cause and/or worsen problems with motivation, goal-oriented behavior, and long-term planning.
This new p-doc keeps talking about Wellbutrin...would that give me more motivation?
> By the way, do you have a treadmill in your house? Have you ever used an elliptical trainer?
Yup, my parents have a treadmill in the basement. They don't use it. I don't use it as much as I should. I've never used an elliptical trainer...they look kind of fun in the infomercials. LOL
