Does taking an anti-depressant matter?

I am pre-op and have had anxiety/depression for years. I have only been on meds for it once in mylife and that was five years ago. Recently with all of the doctors appointments and worries I am becoming more and more depressed and am having panic attacks more and more. I know that when I go to the doctor I can expect trembling, dizziness, muscle tension and a few other syptoms. Sometimes I can't breath and want to just escape. I am going to the doctor the 16th and was wondering it I asked for meds would it b a strike against me for qulifying for the surgery? And will it affect the psyche evaluation, I mean by admitting I have a problem can they tell me I won't be able to handle it even if I know all of the risks and changes that have to be made and I am prepared to make this decision? Thanks.
