[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 428421, member: 3493"] Thank you all. I'm not really financially challenged in the sense that I have a job, make a decent salary and can pay my bills. It's just that my insurance doesn't cover Lexapro and without it, they want about $200 a month, which I can't afford in discretionary income unless I make daughter drop out of college and that would make me even sadder. I did check on Steely's suggestion but I don't qualify for drug company assistance (I guess that's a good thing). I will look into Celexa since it seems so similar to Lexapro. I have not tried any medications other than the Lexapro, which I took 7 years ago when things were really awful. I did have oldest boy on liquid Prozac in 2d grade for ticcing and eating his shirt in school and it worked - turned out he has PANDAS. I DO walk every day. I walk about 3/4 mile each way from the train to and from my office. It doesn't seem to be helping. I'm too ashamed to walk around my neighborhood. I don't have a car that I can drive right now. I used to drive to another town to walk around because I don't know anybody there. It seems that the only people in my town who walk or run are the stay at home mom's who have no body fat. I was never fat until my life fell apart 7 years ago and I am not handling it very well. My thyroid is out of whack and the doctors can't get me steady. I have RA so the types of exercise I can do is limited as I already have bad knees and want to avoid a replacement if possible. I very rarely have a pity party - it's not me, but I really appreciate the responses. I have been reading up on the medications you've suggested. If I can't figure out for myself what I want to try, I may go see a shrink for a prescription. However, I really don't want therapy at this point. Two useless years of marriage counseling and individual counseling has really turned me off to the entire process. I can't divorce now or for the foreseeable future and that's the main cause of my depression. I am sure there is some truth to my counselor's comment that I gained weight to keep my H from being attracted to me - it didn't work he evolved into a chubby chaser instead! Thanks again. I will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
