Thank you, all.
Doc, it's Prozac, 20mg once a day. I have been on that for years. I go higher and the therapeutic window closes. I get all sorts of side effects from it and it does me no good. Again, I haven't tried that for some time now, so I may react differently if the dose was upped.

DonW, you are right, we are getting older and chemically we change, also besides the droopiness and jowels. I will go to the Lilly site and see what info they have on Prozac. I am just thinking it's not doing what it did for me, say, 10 years ago.

Live, thanks. I would love to feel better! I am going to go to the Doc and ask what we can do for me to feel some better. I am not looking for a happy pill, just to tweak what I have now. I just have a feeling of low-grade depression, and I want to get over that hump. Don you are also correct in saying circumstances will make it seem like meds are not working...that plays a big part, too.

Thanks for answering, you were all a giant help to me...
