> You could try the ol linkadge anti-poopout regime. This consists of stopping your antidepressant one day a week (usually week end) and have a night of *total sleep deprivation* This is the fastest working antidepressant (also *very* reliable) next to ECT. Then resume the antidepressant the next day.

I've done the sleep deprivation thing and it works great - but for only a short while. Once I get back to sleep, it's business as usual. Is your depression under control all week from doing this just on Friday nights?-K
