I'm on bupropion and citalopram and they don't make me bleed. I'm on the pill form. Don't get anything time released or coated as they need to dissolve before hitting your pouch.
I always eat before taking them, even if it is just a few crackers, plus drink a glass of water as well.
It probably is situational depression. There is noting wrong with trying antidepressants for a while. It doesn't mean you have to take them forever. You might want to consider seeing a therapist too.
I agree with vanessavey about Cymbalta. It made me think about how I could die by accident or whatever at least a half a dozen times a day. I wasn't suicidal but it freaked me out. I also had no luck with savella and lyrica. I was trying them for my fibromyalgia and it was before my surgeries.
I know people that think the above ones help so what is good for one of us is not good for another.
There is nothing wrong with taking one either.
Jan was right about the herbal medications. There are some that work but there are no regulations on herbs and supplements.
