> Is it just me, or do others out there get more depressed in the summer, or find that the medicines that worked for them in the fall and winter now have new and unpleasant side effects? In other words, a warm weather version of the traditional Holiday misery that many of us (well, me, anyhow) go through.

In Texas, one can be more likely to get SAD in the summer than in the winter! There are many winter days when being outside is semi-tolerable; summers, however, are 4 months of unrelieved hell, IMO. Everyone who can scurries from 1 a/c place to another like rats with a cat around.
I'm a year-round depressive, like Noa; but that could be because I stay inside (and gripe about it) 98% of the year. There are 4-5 really nice days in autumn, but the rest of the year here is a dead loss.
It's oddly comforting to complain about something besides my dysfunctional brain--even though I have about the same chance of fixing one as the other--Zip.
Beat wishes for a smoother summer.--medlib
