Sure.

Well, "non-drowsy" antihistamines do occasionally cause...drowsiness! (So they're getting into the CNS.) I never heard of someone getting depressed on one before, though. I'll remember that!

It sounds like rapid-cycling bipolar II. Depakote is one of the better treatments for that type of bipolar disorder (lithium doesn't tend to work as well).
