Have depression after taking medication
human
Hi was on Effexor for 9 yrs and finally got off because they did not work anymore. My Dr. put me on Zoloft and been on that for 5 weeks and felt really down. Now today he switched me to Cymbalta. I have bad depression and I just want to feel happy instead of sad.

HIThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have either chronic depression or treatment resistant depression. In that case, you need combination of drugs rather than single antidepressant. I would suggest you paroxetine with mirtazapine or effexor with mirtazapine. Cymbalta has less effect on depressive symptoms. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist.Thanks
