> Are you able to get out a bit? What I found that helped me was being somewhere other than home when the sun set. Like, at a bookstore or coffee shop. I would make sure I was out, distracted by something, between the hours of say 4 and 7. Even if I was alone it helped to be around other people. Anyway, just a suggestion...and wanted to let you know you were not alone.I'm sorry to hear that you have suffered this problem, too. I started taking a second 20mg Prozac around midday, and so far it is helping to get me through the evening. Thanks for your support.
