Question on antidepressants

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know anything about switching from Cymbalta to Celexa right away? I

just can't afford the copay for Cymbalta now that it's up to $45 a month so doc

wrote a script for Celexa.

I do know stopping antidepressants cold turkey is a no no and that Cymbalta can

have wicked withdrawals. At the moment I'm only taking 30 mg of Cymbalta and am

going to 20 mg of Celexa.

Honestly the Cymbalta has been a wonderful drug and has helped my depression,

anxiety and some pains as well.

I know about prescription assistance but my husband's annuity is way too much to

qualify.

Let me tell you, all this makes me want to get a divorce, apply for disability

(can't get it due to never working and my husband working for the government,

not paying into SS) and getting medicare for myself. We would have more money

to live off of, the insurance payments each month would be cut in half and

stress would be reduced.
