I'm on slow release venlefaxine, that works really well for me, I still have up and down days but they are more manageable. It helps with eating habits, anxiety, depression and higher doses are good for sleep. I rarely have panic attacks with taking this. Xxxx

I take trazadone at night and it helps with both pain and helps me to sleep. I take 400mg. I also take Wellbutrin during the day it's like a cup of coffee. I've tried many antidepressants but all it did was tire me out more and I became more depressed. My psychiatrist started me on dextroamphetamine years ago and it literally saved my life. She said there was a study done in Miami University for those who didn't get relief from antidepressants. It's worked like a charm and it's what gets me up and moving so I can get things done. I'm thankful she took a chance and tried it on me.

I’m on cymbalta for fibromyalgia. I’m personally pleased. I don’t personally take anything for depression. Have you thought about talking with your pharmacist
They are very knowledgeable. I believe someone will steer you in the right direction. Hope you have good health in the days a head

Venlefaxine is a horrible medication. It worked fairly well helping with pain management, but bad side effects. Took me almost a year to wean off of it. Cymbalta has been a great help with muscle and joint pain control.

Omgoodness; I also had suicidal thoughts with cymbalta. (first time ever; I'm Definately not a suicide risk). I will never take it again! I am currently taking amitriptyline and I feel it is working. Helps with the depression, anxiety, sleeping and pain. I have just doubled the dose and am sleeping much better 😊 Please be so careful with your combinations. Someone else suggested talking to your pharmacist; really good advice. More than once, I've had a pharmacist call the Dr on incorrect combinations prescribed. Once it was actually a life threatening situation- of my newborn son's life ( I was nursing and what the Dr prescribed would have killed him! Thank God the pharmacist caught it! My son is grown now 😊) Point is, ask the pharmacist 😉 Well wishes and ((gentle hugs)) 💜🌸🌺🐝🍯🍋☕
