So, lets just start off with saying that I have a multitude of problems.. I have an eating disorder, I think I have OCD and a bit of ADHD. I also, know I have extreme back pain. Everyday, my back hurts. REAL bad, I cant even perform normal daily things without being in agony, sometimes its hard to even stand. I've been struggling with my eating disorder, and my doctor says ive been having signs of depression, and thinks I would benefit from an anti-depressant. I agree, I have been showing signs of depression.. but I don't believe DEPRESSION is the source, its just a result. I get depressed because I am in pain all the time. My adhd and ocd symptoms' are worse, because of my pain I believe. I can never just SIT DOWN and relax, because it hurts ..I can never get comfortable because there is usually always a stabbing pain somewhere no mater which way I sit. My depression of corse does not help me in my recovery from an eating disorder.. I believe my back pain would help with my depression.. So im thinking...take care of my back pain is a good first step. ? He told me that Cymbalta not only is for depression and anxiety (oh ya I have a bit of that too) it is also for pain. I am nervous and weary about being on ..PILLS. Drugs-anti-depressants. its a big deal to me. I would love for other peoples opinions... I am willing to give medication a try, if I know it will relieve my back pain.... depression
