My hubby has been really depressed lately. I think it is sort of a uncomplicated depression (unlike a lot of us here experience) and he hasn't tried many meds so far. He used to take Zoloft, which was okay, but not great. He has some pain issues, so switched to Cymbalta. He says his pain is much better, but I think his depression is much worse (e.g., sleeps ALL weekend, doesn't enjoy anything, irritable). I finally have him seeing a pdoc that I trust on Friday, but I want him to go in prepared with med questions/suggestions. I think he wants to keep the Cymbalta because of the improvement in pain, so I was wondering if something could be added. The only idea I had off of the top of my head was Wellbutrin, but according to the drug interaction checker, they don't mix. It seems a little early to bring out the "big guns" like Abilify. Anyone have ideas?
Thanks!
