I know where you are coming from....I have been on Prozac for years. Over the years the dosage has gotten higher. When I decide that I don't want to take it anymore...the depression is horrid. Currently my doc has me on prozac, neurotin, lamactil, topamax...and a few others for other problems. The lamactil is starting to help a lot with the mood swings and the side effects weren't too bad...considering other meds i have been on. I know you would like to do it without the meds....I think we all would like to go a day without having to think did I take my afternoon meds....make sure you take your meds before you go to bed....but I don't see that as a possiblity right now. Stick to the meds your doc has given you...btw...it never hurts to do some research of your own to find a medication that may be better suited for you and discuss your findings with your doc.

sorry for going off on the deep end on this post...sometimes it helps me to talk or write.
