Some people do get depressed From ADT, though it is a combination of the drug and thinking about a prostate cancer diagnosis.

Taking a drug such as you mentioned, can take away that depression and make you feel normal again. A few people in this forum have done the same thing as you were talking about. People have mentioned taking Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Effexor, Buspirone, Cymbalta or Lexipro, In some cases, people have tried one drug and it didn’t work for them so they had to try another one. Working with a psychiatrist that can prescribe anti anti-depression drugs could make a big difference in your life.
