Suggest Remedy For Depression When On Adderall And Zyrtec

I hired into a job as being available at any time for any shift. After more than half a year of this, I couldn't continue working the shift they stuck me on (overnight, of course) due to my 2-3 roommates keeping me up for the majority of the time available for me to sleep on a 40+hr work schedule. After being persistent for a few months or so, they relented and let me onto an evening shift/overnight shift work schedule, and eventually just evening shift. New management came in, forced me to start working night shifts again, only now on top of my previous problem I'm depressed (no, I don't know why, my life has been horrible but I usually just don't think about it, I get depressed from time to time and don't know why). I can't handle a rotating night/evening shift on top of these things, is there a medical reason I can cite? I currently take quick release Adderall and zyrtec, I don't really want to take antidepressants again--at least not while I still feel like I have the option of getting better without them. Age early 20s, male.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are just 20 and even at this age, if you cannot handle the pressure of job and shifts, I am sorry, you will never be able to. This has become your basic behavior and trying to change it can lead to clinical depression. If you are unable to cop up with the job atmosphere even after one year, it is always better to find a new job which offers morning shifts. In that aspect you should never see the money involved, but see the peace of mind and stress free future. Please consult a psychologist / psychiatrist before taking medicines.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
