Hey zinco, I haven't tried the new antidepressants like Fetzima or Brintelex. My pdoc decided because of my side effect issues she didn't want to try me on the new less documented ADs. Also she didn't like Fetzima for me because it's supposed to just be a stronger version of Cymbalta and I did fine on Cymbalta it's just the side effects issue. Ultimately she thinks I need something weaker with a lower side effect profile since efficacy is not an issue.

Unfortunately, the last time I took Cymbalta (about a month ago) I started itching and had hives after one dose. This has been my reaction on Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Prozac, Cymbalta, and Xanax. Never had an allergy in my life before so it's weird but my body just doesn't like anything that helps right now. 😔

It's almost like the depression has affected my immune response but pdoc has never seen this so I don't know if it's the depression or what.
