Answer #1

Have them take you for a psychiatric evaluation. If you really need those meds, that will probably be your best bet. That’s how I got mine, anyway, but they generally only work for you if you have a chemical imbalance. At any rate, you should see a psychiatrist. Even if you don’t get medication, the doctor can help you with your depression.

Answer #2

hmm have your parents ever had a talk with your dr about taking anti-d’s?
