Not to thread hijack - but I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat (Anxiety->depression), all I've seen are MFT Councillors though and none of them have recommended any drugs... perhaps it's time to see a psychologist, although I try to avoid meds at all costs (I'm mild ADHD and have been off drugs since a teenager).
How do you guys approach this with your MD? or do you find a special psychologist to see?
You need to see an MD to get the scripts (at least in my state). A psychologist or an MFT (usually a PhD) typically are not authorized to write prescriptions, but a psychiatrist (who is an MD) or your primary care doctor can write the prescription for you.
You should just tell your MD your problem and the symptoms you are having. That's what I did, he was very sympathetic to my problems and gave me the prescription right away.
