I feel exactly the same as you. At age 49 I moved from New York/Connecticut area to South Florida. I hate the dark, the cold, etc. and I have dysthemia [sp] with some major depression. I've been on Paxil, Prozac and tried a couple of others. I was helped by Paxil, and by Prozac to some extent. SAD does exist; in fact there are people who take Prozac during winters and reduce their dose for spring and summer. I have always been so happy with my move to Florida. I am now 57 and have been here 8 years. It was the best mvoe I ever made. If you could get away winters and stay on medication it might help. Perhaps your wife would be open to some kind of compromise.
