Scott,
You are one of the very smart IMO. Regular doc wants me to try Cymbalta. I have a good bit of pain and a nice long history of depression though I am currently minimally depressed. My sister took Cymbalta and gained a ton of weight. It didn't really help her that much. She had to go off of it.
I do NOT need to gain weight, I need to lose, and I am very sensitve to drugs. They sent me home with Soma and Tramadol samples. I took a very small dose of the Tramadol once before and it made me very dizzy. I doubt I will try either.
The problem is I am hurting a lot, finding myself doing less and less and slipping into that depression that has gripped me so strongly in the past. Wellbutrin was a miracle drug for me years ago, then it began to work less well. I acutally haven't been on anything moodwise for three years and have done rather well.
Oh toss in a nice bit of GERD and high blood pressure. Any suggestions?
