What is the treatment for depression?
human
I have been taking 60mg of Cymbalta for depression. It has not helped and I ve been putting on weight and I am a diabetic and have had gastric bypass surgery in 2008. I lost a lot of weight but recently put on 40-45 pounds. My psychiatrist changed my prescription to Viibryd. and took me off the cymbalta. What is the difference between the two drugs?

Brief answer: consult psychiatristDetail  answer:hi dear,first of all detail regarding your symptoms is must and for that detail history and mental status examination is necessary .that both drugs are different in mechanism of action.but for depression that are many newer drugs now a days available like escitalopram, desvenlaflaxine, sertraline etc..also psychotherapy and ect is also helpful.discuss with your treating doctor.Thank you
