lexapro 20mg at bedtime. this helps like you would not belive. it does take up to 2 weeks to feel the perking up effects but for me it only took 3 days. if you can, paint rooms bright colors. use florecent lighting where you can. also, fast upbeat music in the car can help more than you would think. i have lived with it for the last 10 yrs or so and now i do well with it through the cold months.
