[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 519557, member: 1550"] I agree that maybe this is a bad time to quit smoking. You can do that when you feel better! As one who has suffered from depression a lot, sounds like whatever medications you are on are just not helping. It took me ten years to find a combo that really helped. I would go back to psychiatrist and maybe suggest another medication (unless you have not been on them for 6-8 weeks...they take time). I was on, in order, amitripytlene, imitriplylene, nortriptylene (then the SSRIs came out and...) Prozac, Zoloft, and FINALLY Paroxatene. None of them did much for me except maybe take a bit of the edge off...I was still doing very poorly, plus I had side effects to some that were intolerable. I went to a doctor feeling SO badly that I was ready to beg for ECT. Instead he told me to try a new drug at the time paraxotene. I didn't expect it to work. About six weeks later, I was a brand new person, mood-wise. I have been on it for over twenty years. Sometimes it takes a long time to find the right medication. Exercise is GREAT for mood problem. I don't believe it can take away severe depression, but it certainly can help you maintain. I work out quite a bit (and I hate it...lol). Hugs and good luck! [/QUOTE]
