med ication suggestions
I am currently on Cymbalta and the doctor increased my dosage but I am still having problems sometimes with depression. Does anyone have any suggestions on what medications would work with someone that is also diabetic with thyroid, neuropathy, asthma and allergies?
Hello and welcome!
Typically, you must give these types of medications at least about 4-6 weeks after dosage adjustments before assessing its effectiveness. I personally feel that every option with one medication should be exahusted before starting over with a new medication, and that would include waiting out a dosage increase. What dose are you on now?
With your other conditions, Cymbalta would actually be a pretty good choice. Have you tried any other medications? How about the SSRI's, like Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil? The best advice I could give you is to try to be patient during these trial and error processes, and keep communicating with your doctor.
Keep us informed!! Good luck!
