Haha. There are lots of things to try. I really like Mark Hyman's stuff for the medical/nutritional issues:

6 Strategies to Eliminate Depression - Dr. Mark Hyman

I don't think that Prozac is really better than any of the other drugs, by the way. They all have the generic problem of "oppositional tolerance".

Also, if you haven't seen it, I really like these notes:

It made a huge difference for me and it's helped others too.
