Hey there.

When my husband was beginning w/d (he was taking 40-50 hydros a day) I bought him an all natural product called "Positive Thoughts"

It basically contains St. John's Wort Extract, L-Tyrosine, Valerian Root, and Lemon Balm Leaf.
It seemed to keep him in good spirits throughout the day.  You should also try fresh protein shakes with fresh fruit - all the vitamins from the fruit are good for the spirit.

Also try to take in lots of fresh air if you can - go out for walks.  It's not going to take all the sad feelings away - but it will help.

Good luck to you,.
