Am concerned about weight gain. Have begun Cymbalta therapy and discontinued Wellbutrin. Already gained weight, perhaps ten pounds in less than a week to ten days.I cannot deal with any weight gain. Body image distortion would exacerbate all the situations I am already dealing with. My depression is of course biochemical, but the context of my life is quite challenging right now. Weight gain would create further crisis. First posting and question. HELP please, Community?
I’m depressed because I almost got married two years ago and still being affected by it, and I think that since I live alone I talk to myself without knowing it.
I am 67 yrs old and have been treated for depression for about 14 years. I have very little support at home and I just need to talk to vent, I guess. Plus, I’d like to get others view on medications (I have been on 9) and what works and doesn’t work. I need support in a big way.
I also suffer from anxiety. I am alone most of the time, tryingto work two jobs and feeling like my life is utterly useless.
I’m interested in mutual support or just friends to connect with; they can be the best therapy of all.
My husband has fibromyalgia. His specialist has him on morphine and he started taking Cymbalta about three weeks ago. He is a walking zombie, in more pain and some days does not even shower and dress. I have been trying to get some information on the combination of morphine with Cymbalta and cannot. Can anyone direct me to learn more about this combination. Thank you
Anxiety creates my depression creating avoidance while alienating my “self.” Through self taught, counseling, and training I want to chop this cycle into bits and pieces while accepting the flow of positive, negative, and neutral energy which surrounds every creature on earth. I have self doubts though I can actually, finally see myself growing though life is a challenge. I am determined. I am very glad I bumped into this web page. Thank you.
im am taking cymbalta for depression.
i just took a physical to get private pilots license and i was denied because i was taking an antidepressent (cymbalta)
my daughter was killed a couple years ago while walking to her first day of high school, when she was run over by a drunk driver.

Battling Major Depression head on!
I have a 9 year old son that we believe has ADHD and Bipolar. I havent been able to get him diagnosed because no one wants to listen to me because we dont have money and because they just think that I dont know what I’m talking about.
I am living with nausea every day all day. I have had test done and my doctor seems to think I have early stages of colitis. i am also depressed and my 14 year old is beyond stressing me out. Many times I am constipated and my life seems like a living hell. I can not sleep at night and I take restoril at 30mg. I use to take ambiem cr 12.5 mg but it no longer works. My ultrasound keeps coming out negative.
