There is a big difference between antidepressants and antihistamines, time. Antihistamines work immediately while antidepressants may take up to six weeks to start working. Meanwhile you may very well be suicidal. You can do without antihistamines as all you will have is a drippy nose. Without antidepressants you may not have a life.
