I went and talked to my doctor (military) and they ran a couple of blood tests. Their determination was that I was clinically depressed, had high cholesterol (345) and was borderline diabetic. So they put me on several meds, including anti-depressants, cholesterol pills, and some kind of high grade vitamins and stuff. I was popping these pills for 3 months and was only feeling worse. I got sent to talk to another doctor and after I told her what all was going on, she ran one blood test and found the problem. My Thyroid hormone levels were low. So now I take 1 little hormone replacement pill every morning and feel fine. The best thing I can tell you is go to WebMD and look at the symptoms of Hypothyroidism and see if that is what you are experiencing.

I'm not sure what your age is, but if you are in the 40+ bracket this may also be something to look into.
