My depression seems to last about 2 weeks. Hang in there! I know we count the minutes at this early stage, but it will pass before you know it. I'm on Effexor and it has helped a little.
Do things that make you smile/laugh. Look at old pictures. Watch your favorite funny movie. IF you have the energy...get outside and try to take pleasure in simple things. Try to be grateful for the good things in your life. Go for a drive (my fav). You can get through this!!!
