I suffer from severe 'acute' depression when I wake up from sleep, regardless of what time of day it is.
Could it be you're just depressed?
I had a good time with 2 Prozacs a day for a while, once I got over the stomach aches and anxiety fits and got used to the suicidal ideation (seriously). But I could never concentrate much and gained about 20 pounds in a year.
Now I find that taking codeine at bedtime relieves early-morning depression and anxiety. Trouble is, you can't do it as a regular thing.
Not very helpful, I'm sure. Perhaps you could describe the depression. Is it specific thoughts pertaining to your own life, or a physical thing.
