I had so much hope in this Cymbalta. I let my my doc, a few days ago, know that the Cymbalta was really affecting my dreams and sleep in a horrible way. Plus it seemed to be causing, yet again, weight gain. So, he prescribed me 5mg of Meridia to take with Cymbalta a day. Meridia acts like an a.d., but more on dopamine. And yes, it's 'contraindicated' with SSRI/SNRI's in the 'official' literature and all that, but he has had many other patients on the combo, and I found many studies combining it on Medline. Plus, it is supposed to have a little bit of an antidepressant 'kick'. Well, I just feel wired a bit, kinda like I did when I took Zoloft. Mind you I have also been taking 50mg's of Elavil, so I will stop that tonight. I'll give it a few more days, see what happens. I just gotta lose this damn weight I have put on, or else I am going to pay for it not only socially, but could kick over from a heart attack or something. I have too many things I WILL change in this world before I plan to go damnit!..heh. Any experiences appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
