You don't. I suppose this is yet another of the negative consequences of direct-to-consumer advertising, but it really isn't your place to ask your doctor about drugs, any drugs, under any circumstances. Your job is to describe your symptoms. His is to decide about drug (or other) treatment.

Talk to your doctor about your symptoms. It sounds pretty likely you're clinically depressed, but the doctor should do a formal assessment and discuss treatment options with you. Given that it's bad enough to lead to cutting, I'm fairly sure antidepressants would be warranted.... therapy is a good idea, as well.
