Question re Cohens & Depression

[Alli]

Hi All,

I have read through a few threads in this section but can't really find what I am looking for, so I decided to put out the call for help.

I was diagnosed with depression a little over a year ago after suffering with it for about 3 years (discovered after cognitive behavioral therapy). I got medicated and have been feeling great.....until recently.

I know that Cohens works on serotonin, and so do the anti-deps that I take, and what I want to know is this: can this cause the depression to get worse?

For the last 3 weeks my mental state has been in steady decline, without my noticing until tonight (but that's pretty normal anyway) and then I was putting my dinner in the oven and accidentally dropped it on the floor, which sent me into a horrible emotional state. I cried for an hour. I know it is absolutely stupid to cry over such a little thing, but it has made me realise I am not good any longer.

I guess what I really want to know is if anyone else has experienced this? I really feel like I am back to the lowest point before I was medicated (and I am so anti-medication it was a HUGE thing for me to go there) and I am actually really worried.

I would really love to know if anyone has any knowledge about these things or has experienced similar.

Hoping you are all well,

Alli
