I have tried to take my life on several ocasions ..the last time I was on a machine for awhile .but I want to live ..I need to live ..so do you .I know my triggers now an try to avoid them ..do not give up ..the next time you hear someone knocking open the door..there is much to be said ..it is hard to get the docters to understand ..an get treatment that works ..you get to where you do not know what will happpen ..just do today ..it is good to talk with others who understand ..I have a husband an grandchild I care for plus a son who is disabled ..I am scraping the surface an barely getting by some days I can hardly walk or think .I research everything looking for answers ,but the most important thing I do is pray ..I am still here.
Cymbalta might be good for you. It helps with depression and the pain of fibromyalgia.
You might also want to try adding Wellbutrin.
I hope you don't mind if I changed the capital letters of your post. All capital letters is difficult to read.
