I didn't make it to the internist today. I got upset last night, took a pill, and ended up sleeping all day.
I think it's safe to call this a depressive episode.
There's this herbal shit I've been taking that's supposed to be good for the liver. As of today, I'm stopping it. Might be interfering with my meds.

Too "much" liver purging might not agree with the half-life of your medications. Best to nicely explain to the people at your internist so you aren't charged... and telling the internist EVERYTHING you are taking. Something that is "purging" toxins could also purge a medication. (Could be good to purge it, but best to get to the bottom of whatever is going on physically and mentally and making that all match up.)

The doctor's office seemed ok with it. It's a small town and in general there's less charging for missed appointments.
I checked for drug-herb interactions and it turns out one of the main herbs in this stuff involves the same enzyme as one of my meds. So that could be something.
Anyway, I did feel a bit better today, more regular-meh-depressed than has been the case lately. Hopefully tomorrow will be better too!
