I'm so sorry you're feeling down. It's hard to stay upbeat with MS going on constantly.

Hope the wedding went OK.

I feel depressed fairly often these days but so far haven't asked for any pills for it. I hesitate to take anything. People my age react in odd ways to meds, and I'm not sure anyone knows just how we'll react, particularly with MS, but if I were younger, I'd try to get a med that helped me many years ago--Librium. It's meant more for anxiety but often anxiety goes along with depression.

The newer drugs for depression are supposed to be much better but I'd hesitate to try any drug that has an effect on my mental state. Librium, on the other hand, has been around for a long time, and I took it for several years (off and on, as needed) without any side effects.
