Well, due to my recent episode of depression and horrific pain from fibromyalgia, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try anti depressents again.
Lexapro wigged me out- so that's not an option.
I have read other's with fibro who have said Cymbalta helped their pain a lot and also their fatigue/depression.
i know Wellbutrin is supposed to be good for energy and not cause weight gain and libido loss ( preferable by my husband).
If I do take Cymbalta, I want to be on the lowest dose possible due to the concerns over liver damage.
Any thoughts?
Anyone tried both and have more success with one or the other?
My one concern with Wellbutrin is that I am prone to anxiety ( and occasional panic attacks) and I've read it can increase anxiety.My friend is a drug rep for wellbutrin XL and hearing her explain it makes it sound a bit like speed...
Which at this point of my unmotivated, tired self doesn't sound so bad. lol
any thoughts?
