I suffer from chronic low-level depression, and it's good to hear from someone who takes depression seriously. There are so many jokes about Prozac, as if it were some kind of recreational drug.
Some days are easier than others.
Exercise helps, too. Suzanne, I also have low grade depression, except there have been times when my depression became accute. I've taken quite a few medications, none being quite the right one until I got into a test program for Wellbutrin. In that program, I had an excellent therapist and in the double blind, I was fortunate enough to get the best dosage for me. That has been several years ago, and my Wellbutrin helps ever so much.
