Cymbalta
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been taking Cymbalta for several years at varying doses and recently my p-doc increased the dose from 30mg to 60mg and I am developing a somewhat painful rash (common side effect) on my arm. Anyone have any experience with this? I'll try to reach my doctor this week, but I guess I"ll have to taper back down to 30 which wasn't working all that well. I've been feeling better on 60.

I’ve struggled for years with Anxiety and Depression. I’ve been on and off antidepressants for years, not liking the side effects...but I wonder if anyone here forgoes the antidepressant and only takes something for their anxiety? If so, what is it?

Ativan
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Sorry. This is not a question. Do not know where to post otherwise. Be cautious with lorazepam if you are depressed. It may worsen the condition.

On the other side, Lorazepam (Ativan) has proven to be very effective for me. I'm very cognizant of it's addictive nature and am hyper vigilant in taking it. I almost always never take as much as I'm… read more

It would definitely help if you took an Ativan before you had it done. If you are tense it can cause it to hurt which it shouldn't do. It is important to do because that is how my youngest daughter… read more

Medication Problems.
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m on 60mg cymbalta, 1mg Ativan, 100mg seroquel and 30mg remeron.
Been on cymbalta forever. Ativan and seroquel for over a year and remeron for 7 months. For the last few months I’ve been feeling really depressed so I tried coming off the seroquel. Got down to 25mg in two weeks, the withdrawals made me more anxious and depressed so I went back up to 100mg. It’s been over a week now and my depression is getting worse by the day. Does anybody know what’s happening to me??
