Can Fatigue, Weakness And Tingling Sensation In Legs Be Due To Depression?

I'm 33. 5ft 8 and 13 stone. on and off for 4 years i have bouts of balance problems, fatigue, weakness and tingling in legs. doctor has put it down as depression. had blood tests and nothing has showed up. First I was on sertraline then after 2 years came off them because i started to feel ill again so the doc thought they wasn't working. then i was on lycra for restless legs ( which stopped my restless legs ) was ok for two months then my balance got worse and feeling really weak in my legs. now the doc has put me on prozac and got me an appointment with an ENT specialist ( which is in 14 weeks!!!! ) I'm now at my witts end and need help!!!

You really need to do some examination and to consult a specialist. In my opinion this symptoms are not only due to depression as you have already taken antidepressant for two years and nothing changed.
