I can feel you. I've been down 3 days in a row now. No thoughts of death or typical depression just lethargic, sad, sense of impending doom, scared, insecure. I slept 15 hours yesterday. One thing that helped was a good run. I went out and just killed it. I ran my hard loop with hills around my neighborhood and sometimes that kind of resets my brain. I would recommend some exercise if you can muster up the energy. You will feel better even if its just for a couple of hours. Also try doing something like cleaning the house, catching up on you laundry and doing anything that is productive.
Sometimes you have to fight back. I never really totally bought into the chemical imbalance theory until i had these spells hit me out of the blue. It like you aren't in control of your emotions. It sux! Try and use your non medication options first. Dose adjustments could take weeks to kick in anyway from my experience.
Good luck!
