Re: anti-depressant anyone??

May 20, 2010

I don't post here very often but I read the posts and they have helped. My

friend has RSD and was on an anti-depressant that helped her get up and out in

spite of pain.

her new doctor said it was much too old of a medication and put her on celexa.

all she feels after a month is " blah' -no interest in anything. But going off

the triavil cleared up her foggy thoughts and forgetfulness.

Can anyone recommend another anti-depressant to get you up and going and not

feel Blah.Her Doctor is going to have her wait 2 more weeks. any help would be

appreciated.

thanks,

Actually, the one she was on, even though older, is till one of the most popular

anti-Depressants used for people in chronic pain. I've tried many and it's the

only one that even closely worked.

Sadly I had to stop taking it due to having a very rare side effect with it. I

don't understand why a DR. would take anyone of it, just cause it's an older

one, if it was working?? Did she want to try other ones as well? Hmm..

Well, another one that's often prescribed for people in chronic pain, that's not

an older one is Cymbalta. I've heard of many people having good results from it.

However, I have RSD (and chronic fatigue) and it didn't work for me at all,

everyone is different though.

Hope this helps
