I've had a couple of people mention Effexor. One is a psychologist friend. The last was this wacky pdoc. My concern with Effexor is that it can raise blood pressure and mine is already on the high side. In fact they will probably put me on blood pressure meds whenever I can get a doc to see me.
One pdoc wanted to put me on Remeron but I was really fighting weight loss at the time. I had struggled to lose 80 pounds and didn't want to pile it back on. End result was I became so depressed I regained the 80 lost pounds plus a few more. Then, too, like Spriggy I was scared to death to swallow something new.
I don't know much about Cymbalta. I think it is too new since I haven't seen a doctor in 18 months. We tried combinding Wellbutrin with SSRIs and I just can't take them.
Sorry, I don't know anything about a tv show Midnight Blue. I picked the name because I'm a night person and it seems like I'm always blue!
