Re: -type of antidepressant medication???

[Guest guest]

What is the name of the antidepressant that you are on? I am on two different types. One to help sleep at night and a different one during the day. It has helped. Celebrex was my miracle drug. After 4 days I developed a strange rash that itched like crazy all over my body and it was under the skin. You could see it, but the skin felt smooth, dr. said stop immediately.

Wishing you a painfree day.

Hi I am new to Fibro and this group, I couldn't for the life of me even begin to explain to anyone what was happening to me. I started noticing the pains and exhaustion of the disease a little over a year ago. I use to say to my husband, "How Did I ever Work A Job." I get up in the morning exhasted and have no motivation to do much of anything. I do what I have to do if I can walk to do it. some days it is hard to even get up from the bed and walk. The Dr put me on Celebrex and after I had 2 TIA's (mini Strokes) she took me off it. The Celebrex was a wonder drug for me. Now all I have left is Percocet and I do not want to have to take it forever. She also gave me a new anti-depressant that helps with Fibro. I start it on thurs, I sure hope it is the answer to at least some of the pain.

Thank you so much for the My Name Is Fibromyalgia. Page, so helpful to put it into words.

I love the support I have seen so far.

Hugs

It is called Cymbalta, I just started taking it tonight. My sister works in a phsyc hospital and they use it there alot. It is new, but my Dr gave me samples. She says she has had good results with it on her fibro pts. Hugs JetCarla Atkins wrote: What is the name of the antidepressant that you are on? I am on two different types.

Hi Jet,

This drug Cymbalta I wanted to know if it has any side effects that you have noticed. I am on welbrutrin for depression and to help me sleep each time the dr increases the dose the side effects start tumbling all over again. I am post menapausal have been for about 6 yrs but kept bleeding and having hot flashes till I had ballon therapy a yr ago JAN. but the welbrutirn causes me to have hot flashes again. And the dr just doubled my dose this week its really hard to go looking for a job when first you really dont know how your physically suspose to do so... you know what I mean I bet. I get tired just thinking about a job interview maybe its the stress of the entire ordeal who know.. I wont waste peoples time. I am on so much medicine as many people are I miss VIOX it was my wonder drug. I was only diagnossed last summer with the fibro monoster. I need to go am falling asleep sitting up here at the computer. I hope you have a great hopefully pain free day... Jackie

I just got put on Symbalta and had really really really bad side afects. I shook like mad and was so sick I could hardly move, my doctor says she will not put me back on that class of drugs as others in its class have had the same affect. So I will see when I see her on the 7th what she will put me on next. I would recomend to you all to find a good pain management doctor. There the best. My doctor is amazing. I will send you what I foudn on Symbalta so you will have it but be careful.
