    I wonder if they have something for the libido effect of depression at http://www.cheapfluoxetine.ca. I'm not that worried about diabetes for I know my blood sugar level is just fine, but it's the depression that scares me. Maybe I should ask my doctor if prozac has the same effect on libido or if it makes the dipping libido worse that it already is!

    If you are suffering depression looking into how best to treat it.  Better may be to seek out a person who works with emotional wellness.  In other words, a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, also known as therapists.  To get the meds you need to really help correct depression it takes a working relationship with at least one of the above.  The only one that can prescribe meds is a psychiatrist, but often if you work with a licensed therapist, namely a psychologist or social worker, they will refer you to psychiatrist for proper meds.  

     

    I've had friends and family who prefer therapists to psychiatrists, just because technique is different.  Look around and see what interests you.  Think of depression like diabetes, you need to have a team effort to help!
