Many doctors are not usually quick to prescribe anti-depressants to someone unless they really do feel that they would benefit from taking them. Anti-depressants can be quite addictive and once you start taking them, you do in many cases need to be weaned off them by your doctor when you no longer need them.
I myself at the moment take two different kinds of anti-depressants due to my fibromyalgia one of the symptoms is depression. I at the moment take fluoxetine and amitriptyline and I have been taking them now since 2019. I find they work really well for me and even though I do get my bad days still, it's better than when I am without them. If I stop taking them for even a few days whilst I am waiting for a repeat prescription if I was a little late requesting, I start to notice the change.
Are you on any kind of anti-depressants for your depression?
