Well, as the lost kids said to Peter Pan "hang on a happy thought!"

Dopamine makes you feel happy, right? When I get up in the morning I do a couple of things I like:I listen to my favorite music savoring a bar of dark chocolate and watching out of my window as the sun rises. This ritual gives me a big smile. I guess it causes my neurons to produce more dopamine.

Find out what works for you and do it. You will have a smile on your face till medication makes its way to your brain...
