Sorry to hear that pornrex. I do wonder at the timing...you quit smoking, and then are diagnosed with depression.
There is anecdotal evidence (and possibly actual medical evidence also, but I don't have any sources) that addiction to smoking (whether it be the act, the nicotine, or whatever) is associated with depression. It's said that smoking is a somewhat effective antidote to some forms of depression.
It's no coincidence that the most widely prescribed drug to combat smoking was originally developed as an anti-depressant.
That being said, I hope you're still off the smokes! Let the doctors do the prescribing if that is deemed necessary...don't self-medicate with cigarettes.
Hang in there...I can speak from experience when I say it gets better (and worse, and better, and worse...and much much better).
