Please get your hormone levels checked!!!!!!!! Estradiol, FSH and testosterone. If you have never been depressed before, it is probably just declining hormone levels. I would check the levels before I started taking an antidepressant. Same thing happened to me and after five years of being on antidepressants and having only minimal success, I am just now learning how to straighten out my very low hormone levels. They are your foundation for a healthy rest of your life. Get the book 'It's My Ovaries, Stupid' by Elizabeth Vliet. It's full of fantastic information that doctors don't share with you. Good lUck to you!
