Maybe it's just stress getting to me... but I take my meds at 7am with breakfast (coffee...lol), and by 3pm I sooo would love to be able to take another one. I get short tempered, annoyed...you name it. Course it could just mean that it's because I've just had about 2 hours of napping kids and alone time, Zach gets home around 2:40 and plays with Ben the daycare kid, and the other 3 wake up around 3:15... blush.gif

My afternoons seem to go sooooo sloooooow between 3 and 4:30 when the kids go home... then from 4:30 to 7pm it's even loooooooooonger for the kids to get to bed... and I crash and burn into bed earlier and earlier...

what do you think...exhaustion, or not enough meds?

Sounds like exhaustion. The meds aren't there to make you less tired Rocky. Try having a little more for breakfast, and a healthy snack mid afternoon before you start to crash.

I get like this often especially when I've very busy. I'll get shakey and tired. I usually have a fruit, or yogart and some juice.

If you are on typical anti-depressants, their half life is longer than a day so taking another at lunch wouldn't make a difference. I get the same way after lunch at times too. If you are feeling more depressed overall, maybe trying an increased dose would help, if not, you can go back down.

I have serious afternoon crashes where I've thought I was about to completely flip out, grouch, irritable, short tempered, just plain mean, tired and mad, and honest to goodness eating mini meals is the only way I can avoid them.

I agree that it sounds more like exhaustion. I'd try the mini-meals, too. As a matter of fact, even now I have to keep small snacks around bc my blood sugar level gets off and I get tired and irritible. Is there any time you could take a small 20-min cat nap? That may help you get through the day, too.
HTH!
