Sadly, my husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of June, so of course I am still mildly depressed but fully functional. I also take generic Zoloft 25 mg every other day to deal with GERD. This week I had some uncharacteristic allergy symptoms with sneezing and a continually runny nose, so I took generic Benadryl, 2 a day for a couple of days, and became extremely depressed. (I am 70 yrs old, 5 ft., 92 lbs.). Today, two days after my last Benadryl, I feel much better. Could the Benadryl have been a factor in my increased depression?
