I know what you mean. IF I could wake up feeling good just half the time, I could do better at exercising. But feeling bad and exhausted all the time makes it so much more difficult to exercise than it does for the average person. I take risperdol, wellbutrin and trazodone myself. I believe the risperdol makes me tired and causes me to gain weight. I not overweight, but definitely overweight by about 45 pounds. And just to lose 10 pounds in itself is hard, so to lose 45, 75 or 100 is tough. But I know it can be done. I've seen people do it, so why can't I. The depression is my biggest hurdle.
