want to change an AD


i want to change an AD i'm on, cymbalta, to something else. i take it at nite, lo dose. i feel its run its course over the years and don't want to increase mg's as it always make me way to "dull-dead" if that makes any sense due to lack of better description.

i have appt soon with doc that gives this to me so now is a good time to check on a few alternatives to cymbalta, if there are any and what opinions the folks here have of them.

>>Hi - I was just thinking about you, wondering where on earth you had disappeared to.  It's great to see you.  

yeah good to be back. i'm ok, a little progression of symptoms but still far better than waht it could be. so far so good all things consisdered. thanks for asking

i did speak with shadow awhile back and had a great fun converstaion. i'll call her again soo.



>>AD?  Do you mean you are taking it for an anti-depressive agent?   I take wellbutrin for that.  

i take wellbutrin too after i get up the next day. i guess it helps some so i'll keep trying it.



>>Cymbalta can also be useful for pain, neuropathy and sleep problems.  It is one of those multipurpose drugs.  I hope you find something else that will work just as well for you.

it did help a bit with pain and irritability but i think its usefullness in that area has waned. though i guess they could suggest take more of it. but i never did well with higher doses of it.

thanks for asking and good to hear from ya
