Hello Lee,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there is no quick fix...wish there was, but then this problem of depression is not something that arrived quickly either, so I should not expect any quick fix...I'll ask about the anti-depressants with quicker action. Cymbalta was suggested by my friend (who is an excellent psychiatrist), so that might be the route I go...but who knows. Thanks for the AA saying. I've got to remember that one...I'll keep you all posted, and I thank you all so much for the support an encouragement. Some day I'll be able to make a post in the "success stories" section of this forum. for now though, back to sleeping at an inappropriate time...
