Yes, antidepressants can definitely help and you don't have to suffer. The do take a few weeks to reach their full effectiveness. It's not unusual to get depressed during or after cancer treatment.
Don't feel like you have to tough it out. Sometimes the antideps will also help with the hot flashes and such. Take care - Diane0 -

I'm glad! Cancer's tough enough - you deserve a break. Take good care of yourself - DianeMarymomof3 said:Thanks Diane, I'll call my doc today. I've been "toughing it out" too long.
