I've been feeling the same way ever since I stopped taking Cymbalta in January. The weight still hasn't come off with proper diet and exercise. My hot flashes are back again. The Cymbalta did help with aches, pains hot flashes and anxiety, but never touched the depression. I cancelled an appointment with my pdoc last Thursday for the same reasons. I too have tried so many meds. Most of them have caused me to break out in hives. Wellbutrin was wonderful until the hives appeared. Trazadone makes me feel great with no hangover in the morning, but my legs swell up and the weight gain is fast.
Currently I'm trying SAM-e. It's been a little over a week and I don't feel any different yet. It does seem to supress my appetite. I am also thinking of trying St. John's Wort again. It seemed to work, but I began itiching all over. It could have been that I was taking Ginko with it. I shouldn't have tried two different herbs at once, but I was desperate. I just need to find out if taking SAM-e and St. John's Wort, together, is safe and that the combination will work.
I just wish that there was something out there that you and I could take that would work without adding on the extra pounds. I'm so tired of feeling this way! I know that the extra wieght that I gained after taking Cymbalta is making my depression worse.
I wish I could say or do something that would make you feel better. I'm hoping and praying that you find what you need.
Sincerely,
