Went to my doc yesterday and after much consulting between her, the therapist and a mental health advocate we concluded that I am in need of a med adjustment. I'm going to try Cymbalta and increase Trazodone. This is much relief to me, as I was functioning for the most part on Zoloft, but not really improving. I was so used to just being at a steady level that I didn't realize I was just barely not depressed, not improving much along the way. I have big changes coming soon, and while they are not in and of themselves depressing changes, all of the stress of several different things going on at once was too much at one time. I've also figured out that as I get older the depressive episodes are worse than they used to be, so I do want to prevent them if possible. I have high hopes for Cymbalta.
Does anyone have experience with Cymbalta? I'm curious about side effects, but don't really want to hear horror stories.
Thank you.
