Re: Re:Challenges with Cymbalta?

I tried Cymbalta but it didn't help my depression and my pain seemed to be

worse. I'm on Lexapro now and I still hurt so bad I just want to sleep all

day cause when I'm asleep I don't feel the pain LOL

You know, I sure do think this prozac has caused my weight gain. I don't even

know if I eat that much more than I use to, but I think it has changed my

metabolism. I understand. I guess all these meds have some side effect. I

also love to eat. I have gained a good 12 pounds in the last few months.

(pounds I should not gain..... I weighed too much to begin with). Well, I

may think of a diet sometime, but right now I think I will just contemplate it

because I don't want the added stress and worry of my diet and watching every

morsel I eat. I have enough to deal with already.

Have a great day.

my depression is doing better on Cymbalta. I guess

it's a draw.

I agree with you. I want to sleep because I shouldn't be able to feel

the pain. I said " shouldn't " because I don't seem to be able to sleep

either.
