I have always been extremely sensitive to drug side effects since I was in my teens. I have a few suggestions for you. Have you had your Vitamin D, B12, Folate and Ferritin (iron storage) levels checked? All those deficiencies including low iron storage (with or without full blown anemia) can cause depression. If your ferritin level is under 30 on lab values, please consider taking iron daily and work with a doctor who will help you get it above a therapeutic level. Secondly, have you tried St. John’s Wort? It is a natural supplement with lots of research to back its anti-depressant benefits. I take Standard Process St John’s Wort-IMT and it has helped me.
