Hi- I don't know about a connection, but I can tell you that when I am having a flare-up (lots of spasms) and am having trouble eating and am anxious all of the time- I get depressed... Who wouldn't! I have been depressed at other times in my life and have never taken an anti-d, but went to lots of therapy! I did take Ambien to sleep and to break the insomnia cycle- and that helped a lot. Are you sleeping? I find fatigue makes depression worse. Try the meds for a month or so, (most need that long to build to a therapeutic level) and see how you feel. Good luck!!
