12 hours agoHas anyone started an antidepressant because of low energy, low mood, feeling like you’re just on autopilot, and struggling to get out of a funk? If so, what medication did you take, and did it help? Also, who prescribed it for you—your primary care physician, oncologist, or another provider? I’d appreciate hearing about your experience
