I know she was very against them a year ago, but I’ll ask. I just can’t keep continuing like this. I’m tempted to change docs if she won’t help me, but she’s also been my doc for 16 years so I’m hesitant to move on.
I would make sure to tell your doc your T says you are clinically depressed, and I think it's good to pursue this as an option. I found relief a number of years ago taking an anti-depressant, and as a side benefit it made my therapy better, because I was able to talk more openly about things because it didn't hurt so bad.

You can also ask for a referral to a psychiatrist, who will likely be willing to prescribe medication if your doc won't. Then you can keep this doc and still pursue getting some chemical assistance.
