Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Evaluation 1st: We cannot recommend a particular medication for you online. You really deserve a full evaluation with a psychiatrist so that you receive the very best treatment most specific to your symptoms and suffering. Please seek out a psychiatrist in your community who can help you with this. Also your primary care physician can evaluate you for other illnesses which may present as depression. Be well.
