major depressive disorde
"I have dealt with chronic depression most of my life & I am 65 years young.  I have been on so many pharmaceuticals over the years; starting at age of 23 (Valium, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Buspar, Effexor, Pristiq, etc) and Cymbalta for 15 years.  Current dose is 90 mg daily (1-60 mg & 1-30 mg).  I went to see a Psychiatrist at my Family Practice Docs suggestion we felt I needed a change.  I have also had Fibromyalgia for 25 years plus & collected disability. Cymbalta has had the most longevity with me because it also managed my Fibro.  1 month ago I started on 5 mg of Trintellix.  No side effects for 2 weeks.  Then she bumped up to 10 mg & no side effects except exhausted.  Removed 30 mg of Cymbalta & its’ been 2 weeks & I feel great.  I feel blessed – no side effects except being tired."
