My antidepressant is Effexor, not for depression, but to assist with the side effects of menopause.   My hematologist said no Tylenol due to its ability to interfere with the Gleevac's job.   He prescribed Salsilate for headaches, minor aches pains.

Hi Daniel,
I've never taken any antidepressants, but I think we all get depressed at time with what we are coping with.
Before you take them, consider doing some natural things to help.
Go out and get some sun daily; close your eyes and let the sun bath them.
Feel the sun lifting your spirits.  I do this about 10 to 15 daily.
Walk; walking is fun; just get out in the yard, or if your neighborhood is safe, walk.
Start off slow and then do more when you can.
Do some exercise everyday; try to get someone to exercise with you if possible.
Read the Psalms daily.  They are very uplifting.
Look at your diet; make sure you are eating a good healthy diet full of veggies fruits good protein and etc.
Now of course, if your depression is so bad you just feel like you need something, then talk to both your primary care doctor and your onc.
Good luck,
Jeanie<3
