Withdrawal. And maybe some malnutrition, LOL.

In the past I think I made a mistake to go right back on an antidepressant after feeling the depression creeping back a month or so after I'd quit (Zoloft). It really takes a few months to know what you are like apart from effects of the drug (at the very least as long as it took Celexa to work fully, a year ago). If you can stand the minor depression of withdrawal you might find you are not as depressed as you think.

On the other hand, if you feel suicidal or deeply depressed that is probably not only withdrawal talking.

I agree with others who've already posted that a balanced diet is the way to go. There is nothing wrong with low carbs but NO carbs is a problem. Think of how the human body evolved and what our ancestors ate when you think about your diet: it can't be wrong to eat what we evolved eating. Some societies were more hunters, some more gatherers. But the hunters (ie low carb) didn't eat ONLY meat. So they ate: fruit, roots, vegetables, and eggs, fish, meat proteins, and probably it was dirty (a vitamin pill with minerals might be an easier way than actually eating dirt, LOL). They did not eat the complex carbohydrates like fast food and white bread and breakfast sugar-I-mean-cereal. But they definitely ate some carbohydrates.
