Medicine Making Me Depressed 😔 ?

So I have an autoimmune disorder. Literally called chronic idiopathic ultricharia and angeoedema (spl?). I just learned that my random insane swellings weren't allergies. I started taking medicine (Zyrtec) when I found out. I was pregnant though, so any changes there could have been, I've blamed it on hormones. My meds are making me depressed.. I think they've been making me depressed and I didn't know how to identify it till possibly now- I assumed I was going through normal emotional things or PPD, and now I'm pregnant again. Anyone suspicious of Zyrtec?

Here for you! Are you still on this med? What are your symptoms like?

@Mikayla Wright | MMH my immunologist ok'd me last week to go down on my dosage- I was on four tabs a day-now one. I'm normally a very bubbly person and energetic. For the last little bit I've unmotivated have had fairly negative intrusive thoughts and feeling apathetic about my life's circumstances. Most negative thoughts have to do with self worth or likeability. I'm sleeping through as much of the days I can get away with. It's been better since the decrease though.

Good I’m glad there had been a decrease! Have vit D levels been checked by any chance??

@Megan I would def say increase your vitamin D. Living in AK we don't get enough sun even when we are outside during the warmer days. I am taking 10,000ius daily because I KNOW that I need it and that I am extremely deficient. If I don't stay on top of it then I get depressed and apathetic like you mentioned.
