sleeping too much weight gain and depression?


Question:
does anyone else have these symptoms and if so what have you done to correct it
or if anyone is taking medicine to correct this or a similar problem what kind and has it helped you
i dont have a specific reason for being depressed but know i am, 'just getting over it, or snapping out of it' is easier said than done!
i have a 4 year old and although i doubt after 4 years i could still be suffering from post partum depression but for some reason i feel it is related to having been pregnant because i just havent felt the same, physically maybe even mentally since then........i mean im not wacky or anything but i know i am depressed
its really bringing me down

Answers:
I go thru this too. I get depressed and dont want to do anything but sleep. I take Effexor XR 75 mg. Talk with your doctor, dont suffer with this. Good Luck!!!
set yourself goals, easy ones at first and make sure that you achieve them. It could be stuff like walk for 2 miles to start with then build up to other things.

Also exersise at least for 30mins a day, if you weight gain has be a lot then you will have to start with light exersise and build yourself up.

Make sure your diet is good, avoid alcohol as best you can.

this worked for me.
I take Cymbalta. It helps sooooo much. I have taken three kinds of meds and this one works the best. It's great. It just takes the edge off things. You dont feel drugged or anything like that. But I still sleep alot. On the other hand, I work nights and I think a big part of my sleeping so much is because of that. Try looking up the website for Cymbalta. This site gives ideas and questions to maybe discuss with your doctor. Dont be embarrased. It takes a strong person to say I need help. Best of luck.
