lg,
1. I think you should tell him.
2. He may see it as I do--a proactive thing you are doing to treat your debilitating depression, so you can start to feel better, and be more likely to get more benefit from the therapy (that was my experience).
3. You are taking it "again"--does this mean you have consulted a pschiatrist and gotten a scrip or are you resuming meds you happened to still have from before, without seeing a psychiatrist?
4. If you feel the Prozac might not have helped before, maybe a different med would? Discuss this with the psychiatrist.
5. It might be good to have your psychologist and psychiatrist consult with each other. The psychologist might be able to help you and they psychiatrist hone in on a good medication for you, as well as help you monitor how the med is working and any SEs you might experience.
