I know that feeling that you are having very well. I finally had to bite the bullet and get meds for my depression and anxiety. I tried to get off of them while I was working on both of my Master's Programs but my PCP encouraged me to stay on them until the programs were over. Now that school is behind me I feel so good until I know I need to continue to take the meds. I feel like the old me again. I am starting my Doctoral Program on August 22nd so I have no doubt that I will be staying on the meds for a while. My PCP has give me a great schedule to take all of my meds at two times each day. She was able to really break it down where I could have about 8 talblets in the morning and 2 at night. I use my Advair upon arising and when I get ready for bed. To be hones I don't know when I have felt better and it is not all due to the recent removal of my polyps. Take care of your self. Lying at home in a fetal position is not a good thing. Please remain open minded about getting

some meds for the anxiety and depression. Saidel <scott_saidel@...> wrote: Greetings Samterites:Still feeling great on the zyflo. Not perfect, but sooo much better. I still have a couple of "events" a day, but they are relatively mild (sort of like going back to my previous - not so good - baseline). Seems like I am getting less relief from the Combivent than I used to but, then again, I am not as bad to start with. Certainly, better than without the Zyflo.However, I have been feeling

a bit, well, strange. It is sort of like that feeling you get right before you yawn - not really out of breath, just sort of 'tense.' I've been like this for three or four days now. I am trying to "work through it" as I really like the relief that I have recived from the Zyflo, but I am a bit concerned as it is a really strange and uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps, I am not getting enough sleep? I've been on my regular schedule - 4-5 huors a night - but seem much more tired. I didn't see anything in the literature that sounded like a side effect consistent with or that would explain how I am feeling. Perhaps, my body is just not used to having such an abundant source of oxygen? Strange. In any case, I intend to "suffer" and see if it improves, if not, I'll discuss it with the doctor at my next visit in two weeks.Also, I've been wicked depressed the past few days. Didn't make it to work yesterday or today and spent seveal hours

this afternoon curled in a fetal position in a dark bedroom. You would think that feeling better would, well, make me feel "better." While this has happened before, and I do have a tendancy towards anxiety and depression, it is usually associated with the times that I am on high doses of prednisone. Not sure that it has anything to do with either the condition or the meds - could just be stress, its been crazy the past few weeks and all this new Samters info has been so much to digest.So, in all, ain't that just dandy? Trade one set of symptoms, for another. Hopefully, once my body adjusts to the new regimin, I will really feel better.Going back to Cleveland clinic in two weeks for allergy testing, celebrex challenge, bone density scan and a coronal CT to get a look at the polyps. I'll report back with those results. Aspirin desen and increased dose of Singulair expected sometime after this next
