Your friend would be a whole lot smarter by simply adding Nortriptyline to the ongoing Zoloft and create a true snri that allows adjusting of both ends of it. Cymbalta can't do that.
Generally speaking, I know people who have tried cymbalta, and many reports here....not all that great. Actually, when people complain of an AD making their depression worse, cymbalta seems to be king in that regard. There were suicides from cymbalta during clinical trials. Of course they didn't tell you that part.
Just what I've seen. I guess anyone can pick and choose what they read, and pick and choose which they want to believe or discard. If you want to believe the sites you saw, cool. I'm skeptical, just based on what I've seen in my own life.
To be fair, I know a lady singer who is on cymbalta for fibromyalgia and it seems to work great for her. She seems well and looks well, active and smiling a lot. I think cymbalta probably does have more potential for pain issues than it does for depression issues, for some unknown reason having nothing to do with NE, but that's just my opinion.
