Feel sad..: Talk to prescribing doctor or therapist to explore what's going on in your life that you're feeling sad & depressed. You many identify a situation better addressed through talk therapy rather than medication. Common stresses may include financial, health, relationship, anniversary reactions, even seasonal changes (less daylight). Consider dose increase if no apparent reason and/or mood worsens.
