Asendin to replace Cymbalta?

Posted by dmlvt on August 12, 2008, at 14:53:08

I have been trying to find a way around sexual side effects of Cymbalta. I take a small dose of Cymbalta (20mg) daily, plus 150mg of Wellbutrin.
We tried doubling the WB and tapering off the Cymbalta, but my brain was clearly unhappy with that approach. My PCP has now prescribed Asendin (Amoxopine) instead of the Cymbalta.
From what I've read of this drug, I have to admit that I'm almost afraid to start taking it. I don't understand the "why" of an old-school TCA and I'm also afraid of gaining weight on it. Lastly, I'm an athlete and I really worry about its impact on athletic endeavors. Stories of EPS, TK, etc. sound pretty scary to me.
