[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1783777, member: 68789"] It’s not just blood sugars that can be affected. Different antidepressants seem to have different effects on the ways you view the world. I had a very rough couple of years some time back when everything seemed to go wrong at once - even the household appliances joined in. One doc prescribed Fluoxetine and even I found it hard to live with the Pollyanna it turned me into. Citalopram, for me, had the best and gentlest effect. If an antidepressant helps in a bad patch then I can see nothing wrong with a T1 taking a pill that smooths out the creases. I believe that if they’re prescribed appropriately they’re good, and they may prevent a bad time turning into a total car crash. If your friend can accommodate a period of slightly raised bs by adjusting doses then there’s little to worry about. [/QUOTE]
