[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1377765, member: 338121"] Hi [USER=338961]@Chloesnavy[/USER] I've been on a few different antidepressants, and have found that different ones have different effects. As others have said, citalopram didn't seem to effect my blood sugars much at all. The downside is that it didn't seem to do much else, either. Fluoxetine (you might know it as prozac) was manageable, a slight, consistent rise that was dealt with by some extra basal. Mirtazapine was a nightmare because I had severe side effects, so can't tell you about that one. I've been on venlafaxine for about three years now, and that has wreaked havoc - if I don't take it with a meal, hypos will ensue, and it generally seems to run higher because of it, probably because of the lactose. But, that said, as [USER=370837]@laffinjake_[/USER] said, better mood makes it easier to take care of yourself. Hope some of that helps :) [/QUOTE]
