Thanks lovelylady
That's good advice. The thing is I'm not completely clear on what's making me depressed but I do talk about how I'm feeling.

Hello, Jeff...

Like you, I've had seasonal depression for many years.  I haven't been officially diagnosed, but I know enough to know that I do have it.  For me, I find that it helps to talk about what's making me feel blue.

Talk to anyone who will listen...and more importantly, understand your feelings.  My thoughts are with you.

It took four weeks the first time quirky
but I've been on it for almost six weeks this time and I only feel slightly better. The Dr increased the dosage last week so maybe the increased dosage needs time to kick in.

It is amazing how often doctors misdiagnose, and esp. depression because they are looking for something physical. Yet the symptoms can be very clear. Now that you started back on the prozac, how are you feeling? I've only been on it a week, so I can't see much of a change yet--how long does it take??
