It turns out I had depression not SAD
There were several reasons, mainly my wife's illness that turned out to be Parkinson's disease.
I tried Prozac in January & stopped after 3 days as it made me feel so bad.
I went back to the Drs in mid March & he started me on Sertraline.
After 3 weeks he doubled the dose and 2 weeks later I was feeling worse with terrible anxiety & sweating at night as well as losing more weight, so I called him & he put me on Mirtazapine
He said take them at half rate for 3-4 days then full rate. It was an overnight cure, as soon as the Sertraline had gone out of my system I was back to my old self. The Mirtazapine made me want to eat all the while & I think that was part of the cure. As I'd got my appetite back I stopped the Mirtazapine after just 3 days. That was a week ago & I haven't looked back since.
I've told my friends that in my experience the cure for depression is to stop taking anti-depressants !
i'm glad you're feeling better....but i have to disagree with your last sentence
