A member asked:
Psychiatrist denied me antidepressants. what are possible reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antidepressants: Agree with dr. Fowler. Also, other possibilities are having mood cycling, failure of previous antidepressant trials, refusal of a specific medication due to adverse effects or allergies, and any other medications u might be taking that conflict with the antidepressant.
