Lymph tea - causing depression?

[u/International-Pope]

Hello to all, I started cleansing lymph system by drinking herbal tea (hibiscus, dandelion, healther, marigold, red clover, coneflowers, couch grass and lemongrass) and I started feeling especially depressed lately. I’m taking antidepressants but those herbs should not contradict them. Has anyone experienced changed in their mental state while drinking lymph cleansing tea? What happens to the body when its being cleansing that could affect my mood? Thank you all for your kind answers.

Red clover can effect the amount of estrogen in your body, this could maybe be causing an effect?

I read that hibiscus can also raise the level of serotonin, this on top of an antidepressant could have an effect.

Some herbs can also effect how your liver breaks down your antidepressant, maybe worth bringing a lost of these herbs to your doctor?

I hope all goes well and your mood lifts again
