Thanks for your imput - as far as I know she has had no bipolar disorder in the past.

"The question of course is "does she feel apathetic because of the meds or because of the depression?" - That is a good question. She told me it is because of the meds and that they also are causing a loss of Sexual desire. Until my problem, (very low testosterone level - I am now on Androgel [sp] and it is working fine, but now she is the one with low desire. - Ironic, right?) anyway, with my levels really low, my drive went into super low gear and when it did start to work I had the fear that it would not be enough to satisfy her and then that fear just was the self fulfilling prophecy. Well that, and her going through the change of life, (she is 46), with the hot flashes and all, got her into the MLC stage which led to the WAW and dropping the bomb. (just a quick run down) This is what kinda led to her depression. She also said that the meds are giving her a "So What" or a Who Cares" attitude about things and she does not like that. Being Self employed she needs to be able to make good decisions and she fears that the so what attitude may contriubte to a bad decision.

So fish oil capsules and exercise it is then - I will tell her. Thanks ( It is interesting that a couple of weeks ago I had her over to the apartment and fixed her a nice steak dinner complete with candles and background music and all - she loved it. We are talking about another dinner but I am going to cook some baked fish that I cooked for her about a year ago. We can use the baked fish as a supplement to the fish oil caps though.)
