My doc wants to switch me to Cymbalta bc it doesn’t interact with Amitriptyline (sp?) and other meds. Yet, I have been doing so well on my Effexor, I hate to try an unknown drug, especially having so many reactions to meds.
So, I was wondering if anyone could share the good, bad, and/or ugly experiences they have had with it.
Thank you!!!
I take it and it helps my pain and depression
Anyone taking Effexor? If so, pros and cons, tyvm
I take amlodipine with plaquenil. 5 months so far and no problems.
I was prescribed Tizanidine for my Lupus and Fibromyalgia symptoms along with effexor. Does anyone else take these? Do they work? Side effects? I haven't started them yet and I'm looking for opinions. I have a very hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. It's causing a great amount of stress and depression.
I would love to hear how this works for you!
I take bp med & hydroxyl-chloroquine, too.
A bad day with Lupus, and feeling depressed.

Yes sometimes alot
Anyone know of any good antidepressants that can also help with joint pain, neuropathy, and hot "flashes"/burning sensations? The only two that come into mind that I can think of are Cymbalta and Effexor. I'm thinking of asking my doctor about Cymbalta, but I'd like to know if anyone has either tried that one or know of any others. And what side effects, if any, do you experience (weight changes, fatigue, dizziness/confusion, hair loss, etc)
Also, which ones(s) is best for extreme panic attacks… read more
My doctor put me on a low dose of Gabapentin. It works well for me
Is this a bad drug to start if you have macula problems? I am told that I have a macular Pucker.
I will, although genetically it may be in the cards.
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with lupus and have been in hydroxychloriquine for a month. This week my doc put me on the anti depressants Effexor and I am feeling dizzy and light headed. Has anyone ever experienced this? Thanks for your support!
Fluoxetine (prozac) it helps. I also do yoga and palatis
