I was having the same problem. I lost all interest in everything I loved including school, friends and my social life. I was having many problems sleeping (and still am) and I was really worried about myself and health. Upon going to the doctors I found out that I wasn't depressed, it was my past experiences catching up to me as I have had a hard life growing up and I might possibly have PTSD. Maybe it could be that if you have had a hard life? As you haven't really gone into much detail about what you are feeling, its hard to tell whether you could be depressed or not. I do recommend going to see a doctor about it though, as you can never be to sure about your own mental health and its better to be safe than sorry. I hope this, in any way, helps you and if you need to talk, just remember there are so many people who can help you :)

Go to your doctor and see if he/she can help. Most GP's are very understanding and you should get the help you need. If the feelings persist however, don't just put up with being changed from one drug to another - get a psychiatric referral. I have wasted the best part of six years having the drugs changed over and over - I only got a psychiatric referral when I asked for it directly. Now I am getting the help I should have probably got four years ago! Don't be afraid to ask for what you need - the worst that can happen is somebody says no.
