I think I will ask them about the shots Anika because I need them to do something. I dont want to be stuck on the couch durring my favorite time of year. I love the the fall and its here. I will handle the sickness just not the depression. The weather has been beautiful and I have not been able to enjoy it, I tried yesterday to get out but I was just blah. You know what I mean when your depressed and you try to make yourself enjoy something you know you normally would love its just almost more depressing.Im hoping this Abilify will pull me out. When I first started it I was in one of the deepest depressions I had ever been in and it pulled me right out of it. Im hoping for those results again. Abilify saved me before, I believe it will again.

I swear by liquid iron called Floradix - no stomach upset whatsoever. And it does help to bring the levels up.
Thanks for this!

You can also get liquid iron called ferodan, probably similar to what Hamster uses, but maybe that's just what we call it up here. You should be able to get it at any pharmacy I would think, but I know here they keep it behind the counter so you have to ask for it, but no script needed.

Word of warning, liquid iron is a hard swallow, at least for me, it leaves a very strong iron taste in the mouth that cannot just be washed down. I've tried everything, I don't know if Hamster has this same problem, the liquid iron still makes my stomach upset, but maybe it's a person by person thing. One thing, the liquid iron is much much much better than pill forms.

If you go with the shots, it it usually a round of shots, about 4-6 weeks once a week. The shot hurts, it's in your hip, well top of butt. It will kinda of make you drop to your knees almost as you feel the iron travel down, but after a few minutes it's all fine. With the shots, you should feel improvement quite quickly, like after the first one you'll probably even notice a difference.
Thanks for this!

Still on the couch most of the day. I did clean a bit though not much. I'm going to ask for the shots if I can. If not I will go to the pharmacy and buy some liquid iron. Thanks for all the help everyone. It really means alot.

Floradix has a very pleasant taste, leaves no aftertaste, and causes no GI discomfort. I buy it from Amazon.

The only bothersome thing about Floradix is the schedule: you have to take it exactly 30 minutes before a meal. It is not always easy to time it right.
