I have run out of a medication that the doctor had given me. It is for restless leg syndrome. It helps me to not fall out of bed, and to sleep deeply and soundly. I have been rolling around and out of bed. Again. I am a walking pill factory now. But I must have something that will help me sleep soundly. Apparently it is another part of the depression. So I will get a script for it. Another possible 50.00 a month. Arrrrugh. But I need not to roll around and fall out of bed. I am still fighting this teeth thing. It has been about three weeks. Any stress brings out the depression. I will be ok, I just need to hold on for another few weeks. Weather will change. Teeth problems will go away. I will take a small vacation to Rhode Island.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Depression Returns
Depression hit me strong yesterday, almost, but not quite to the crying stage. I am better today, still having floaters in the eyes. I want to use the massage pillow, but I do not know if having an electronic field that close to the area ( my upper back) would bode well for the implant.
As for thoughts of depressive things, they have backed off. OCD has backed off. Teeth hurt, must be clenching my jaws in my sleep. I have bumped up the provigil to 300 mg every day, along with my other medications.(Cymbalta 120, generic paxil at 60, thyrodiazine at 50 mg) Right now I am having naps of only light sleep. but I sleep normally at night. To me this is good news.
