Hi,
I've been taking cymbalta for a year now. This antidepressant hasn't helped me much. Since i started i become easily triggered and I feel agitated all the time. Not to mention insomnia, nausea, excessive sweating and no libido. I've asked my doctor to change it but every time he tells me next appointment we will discuss changing your medication.
He suggested taking viibryd.
Has anyone struggled with Duloxetine and its horrible side effects?

Psychiatrists make money by telling that everyone except of course for the godlike psychiatrists are mentally ill with ten thousand billion different diseases and have to buy their expensive cum for the rest of their lives.

If you want to know how "trustworthy" psychiatrists are, I have an asperger diagnosis, and I have had several psychiatrists claim that I can't have asperger because I'm not a sociopathic retard.

Tell the psychiatrist to take one of those pills inside his mouth. I swear he'd rather kill himself than ever take any of those pills, because he knows they are a hoax. I have never heard of a psychiatrist who takes brain killing pills. That should be enough information for you.

They can cause permanent brain damage, because they exist to cause mental illness to make psychiatrists and companies richer.

People need to try different medications in the hope to find one that will work for them. I am on Prozac which is my third and best so far. The first one I tried did nothing for me (Vortioxetine). Everyone is different...

Your doctor should be listening to you if you are saying the medication isn't helping and should be switching you to trial a different one. Can you change your doctor? You need to change doctors.

I've been taking duloxetine for about 5 weeks now. Unfortunately, I've developed really bad diarrhea, I guess it's a side effect. All the imodium in the world is not helping. I've tried to go back to a low dose, taking 30mg every other day, hoping this will go away. Unfortunately, there's no change so I'll have to stop taking it. I've already had to stop taking venlafaxine, because I've developed itchy skin rash all over my body.This is really frustrating, because during my last depression, I found venlafaxine in high doses really helpful, very activating and stimulating. My depression is really bad atm. All I'm doing is staying in bed all day, crying and wishing I was dead already. I don't have much support. My psychiatrist is only interested in increasing dose for quetiapine. It doesn't work for me, antipsychotics only make me more depressed and zombie-like. The only antidepressant I haven't tried yet, which could be helpful is bupropion. It's not licenced in UK for treatment of depression, so I'm sure the psych won't prescribe it. I can also forget about referral to the ketamine clinic. I think I've exhausted all treatment options for me. It's utterly hopeless. I can't cope with this depression anymore, I can't carry on like this, I'm exhausted, it's not going to get better. I need to be realistic. My future is just untreatable depression, more suffering and more emotional pain. Then old age, physical decline and probably dementia from the brain damage. I think ctb is inevitable for me. It's a question of when not if.
