That is very unusual for someone whose main problem is depression. I'm not even sure that depression is your main problem at this point.
One thing that's important to realize that the whole "chemical imbalance" story of depression (and schizophrenia) is false. Unmedicated depressives do not have low serotonin and unmedicated psychotics don't have high dopamine. This has been know by the late 1980s but the story was propagated anyway. You can see why it is a convenient story for a drug company. If you think you have a chemical imbalance, you think you just have to take drugs, just like a diabetic. Robert Whitaker's books are a good reference for this. It's important to know because it means that you are not fated by biology to need drugs.

I can't be sure, I would be willing to bet that it still has at least some positive effect on you. If you are going to give it a try, though, please note the few posts following the post at the top of the thread. It helps to start with tiny tiny immediate decisions in your daily life that are of no importance and are things that you normally don't consciously decide anyway.
