yeah, i've been feeling the same way myself. it bothers me when i'm feeling overly sleepy and under a heavy mental fog with confusion that reigns. i have to keep reminding myself that medications are like going through experiments in order to find one that works without all those side effects weighing me down. i have a great pdoc that is interested in helping me and understanding me. depression is an illness, and some people wil not understand that. we just got to live somehow and stick together, since we understand each other. if you have a supportive family, consider yourself very fortunate because too many don't have this support. i'm grateful to have my family's understanding and support. try my mom's advice she gave me this morning: just sit outside (under the shade, if it's hot in your area - stay cool!) and don't worry about doing anything. who cares what people think.
