My husband seemed to have a fairly positive attitude all through his cancer treatment and several weeks out. However, he ended up needing 8 weeks of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and started getting depressed during that prolonged treatment time. Now, 6 weeks or so post-HBOT, he still feels depressed. It's been almost a year since his original diagnosis and he hasn't taken antidepressants but is interested in trying that now. However, he noticed that one of the side effects of many antidepressants is 'dry mouth' which is something he doesn't want to make worse. What antidepressants have worked for others? - and were there any side effects that were intolerable - (such as worsening dry mouth, etc.)?
Thanks for any info you might have.
