Struggling with Medication Side Effects

i have been on cymbalta for a few years now. Doesn't work very well. I was on Lyrica for 2 years but I gained 100 pounds. It took me 2 years to loose the weight. Doctor's don't seem to know what else to do for me. I'm very discouraged.

I have been on Wellbutrin for years and I had been feeling like it wasn’t working. Doc said Wellbutrin and Cymbalta go together well. It’s been about a month and things have improved

Oh also, I was going to mention maybe talk to your dr about a booster medication for depression that you can take with your cymbalta as well. There are several different kinds out now. I agree with Jamesjc, it makes you really sick if you quit cymbalta cold turkey. It's horrid

I have been on cymbalta for awhile myself. If you don't mind me asking, what did your dr put you on Lyrica for? There is a medication that works just like Lyrica but cheaper and i feel it works better for me than Lyrica. I am on gabapentin for nerve damage though. So that's why I asked why u were Lyrica because it helps with nerve damage as well. For things like sciatica and such. But it may treat other things, I'm no dr. Lol
