I'm sorry, Crushed. I recently went through that with Harry. And it was a major one of a number of stressors that sent me spiralling. I quickly went back on the antidepressant that was relatively effective for intense depression a while back, and it worked almost too quickly for me to believe it's the medicine that's working at all. Although I do remember that it worked for overstimulation (which is what causes me to feel suicidal) way faster than it's antidepressant function is supposed to work.
Which is a long way of saying that there might be biochemical and situational factors working in concert. And you might want to look into a medication adjustment.
Give your cat an extra hug for me.
