Thanks for the update rt

I'm still getting graphics for you if you are still working on your website. I actually dug up a bunch of ones that may fit the bill but I haven't had time to set them up and send them to you yet. Sorry I haven't been timely in that.

Make sure you talk to your doc about the sleep and the eating. Both Prozac and Zoloft effected my appetite, for me it gave me some nausea, sometimes very bad but sometimes only a hint of it. Sometimes the nausea was so low that I hardly noticed it but did notice it impacting on my appetite. With time that did go away though. With Zoloft it took a VERY long time for the nausea to go away but it eventually did and my appetite finally came back.

Taking the meds with some food can help a lot with that regard, so make sure you don't take them on an empty stomach unless the doctor instructs otherwise (I have one RX that I have to take alone, with no food and no other meds for at least 1/2 hour, only water, but the instructions are very clear about that).

Talk about the sleeping too. The Prozac might be doing that. Do you take it in the morning or at night? Ask the doc but maybe switching it or one of the other meds to morning might help. The Wellbutrin I take now really effects my sleep, and I found that even if I take it too late in the morning I can't sleep at night. If I don't take it before 9 or 10 am I am screwed for the night.

I was addicted to caffiene too, for a long time, and it got worse with my depression, partly because the depression gave me fatigue and also because drinking coffee just became a depression habit, sort of like a comfort food I guess. I also use a lot of sugar in my coffee so it really made me jumpy. I am also very sensitive to caffine so I did bother my sleep, making for a vicious cycle.

I finally did cut out the caffiene and dealt with the consequenses. You might also talk to the doctor about the best way to do that. I went cold turkey and it was hard, but I cut all caffiene out of my life, no cofffee, no soda, no iced tea (well, I still eat chocolate though, but that's a separate food group ) and I feel much much much the better for it.

When the depression got really really bad for me it was a tough fight because I was sleeping way too much and the urge to try to start coffee again to stay out of bed was strong, but it wasn't a habit I wanted to reestablish.

Good luck and keep us posted, glad you seem to be enjoying school. I remember when I had basic programming (warning... old man story coming up) it was just a brand new thing and as an experiment they were taking a few people from the honors chemistry class to get weekly instruction in programming. There were no personal computers back then. The "computing room" was just a spare room with one teletype terminal in it, connected to a computer in another city somewhere. We would each get a chance to use the teletype machine, with a cylindrical type head (sort of like the IBM Selectric Ball Typewriters) with a roll of yellow paper feeding through it, we would type in our Basic commands , run, and it would type back the results.

And we had to walk five miles in the snow to get there. And five miles in the snow to get home. Uphill. Both ways.
