> We all know that sometimes depression is caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals. Any good way (other than prozac) to counter the imbalance?

Prozac is the answer to one question.
There are many more answers eg. light for SAD
diet for food allergy
Can you rephrase your question ?

> What I am looking for is something natural to help with depression and the sleepy feeling that comes with it. Something "legal and undamaging to pep someone up."

try Damiania (Turnera) or, for a more subtle, but also effective, herb
Elecampane (Inula helenium)
