It should be fine. If you were severely depressed, I'd talk to an Ayurvedic doctor to be certain, but ashwagandha has been know to be very effective in easing mild to moderate depression and anxiety. It can also boost your immune system to help with that sinus cold.
Start with a small dose, then go up. I recommend getting a bottle from SwansonVitamins.com (450 mg per capsule). Take two every morning for six weeks, take a week-long break, then go up to two in the morning and two in the afternoon. After six weeks, take another week-long break. It's best to take breaks from adaptogenic herbs to allow your body to readjust.
(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, of course. If you feel weird while taking the stuff, stop. Etc etc.)
