I am a newly diagnosed diabetic and feel depressed. Is there a medication I can take which is safe.?
The latest SSRIs are relatively safe. No matter what antidepressant you take, you will need to frequently monitor your blood sugars initially to ensure that there are no drug interactions. Go and see a psychiatrist who deals with these medications on a regular basis. I should warn you that almost all antidepressants will cause a slight increase in weight gain, so incorporate exercise and eat healthy. St John wort is another option, but i think you should first speak to the psychiatrist.
