DULOXETINE vs IBUPROFEN

I am a 28 year old man and I've just realized that nothing interests me. I believe that it might be connected to depression as I am on medication for depression and anxiety (duloxetine) I am not really sad or anything. I am just very neutral. Things that used to interest, excite me and make me happ

I have been recovering from over a decade of major depressive disorder and recently diagnosed bipolar II. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel with Lamotrigine and lifestyle changes, and after several mental health evaluations, my psychiatrist gave me the best news ever; I can stop taking antid

Hi, just wondering if this is a common experience: So i've been taking agomelatine 50mg for about 5 months and duloxetine 60mg for 3 months now for severe depression and anxiety. The antidepressants have been working just as intended in the sense that most of the mental agony has gone, but there's

I ( M23) have been taking duloxetine 60 mg for 2 years now. While it has helped tremendously with my anxiety/depression/DPDR, it did cause sexual side effects for me. (I also take lamotrigine, but that is unlikely to cause effects like this) For me, these sides were very annoying; my main problem wa

Entry time 8:55am Before I went to sleep last night, I had nurses come 2 times, around 9:30pm and then at 10:40pm asking if I wanted to take some anxiety medication to help me sleep better. I refused both times as it wasn't initially prescribed, and in general I don't have a problem sleeping. My al

UHC is canceling coverage of my medication: Lamotrigine, Atomoxetine, and Duloxetine. Starts in January. Im barely getting by as it is. I need to find new insurance asap (Im in the USA). Its no wonder they were targeted. I just learned that they deny the most coverage of any US health insurer. Wtf a

Since the late of 2019 year, till now I've tried: 1- Escitalopram "Lexapro" (tried Atomoxetine "Strattera" with it, then stopped it due to its bad effects) (tried Risperidone "Rispardal" then stopped it, it hasn't only bad effects, but also highly increased prolactin) 2- Fluoxetine "Prozac" 3- Bupro

You know how a lot of sources say working towards a goal and then achieving it gives a sense of reward via dopamine? This week I got a pay rise, achieved a fitness goal I've been working towards for months and even got asked out on a date by someone quite attractive. But I feel absolutely nothing.

And don’t you DARE tell us it’s the same as the prescription pain meds. That’s just medical gaslighting and we’re SICK of it.

This is meant to be silly, I spent like 30 minutes making this based on personal and shared experiences. Please feel free to add any squares you think I missed c:

I won my disability case a few months ago (after 3.5 years of delays) and recently signed up for an Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. They keep sending me these condescending letters about the opioids my doctor prescribes me. I have had multiple failed spinal fusion surgeries. I've tried everything fro

Why? Because over the counter meds such as Tylenol/ibuprofen/Aleve can cause organ damage and opioids can cause addiction. So, it's basically a lose lose either way! It sucks! Edit: Thank you all so much for your comments! I unfortunately can't read and reply to them all as quickly as i would like

A rant, be warned I'm so pissed off with the way my doctor is treating my pain after major surgery. Not ONLY do I have break through pain from surgery, but I also have had issues with my bladder from that damn catheter so it's extra painful. He's only given me 5mg oxy every 6 hours and ibuprofen ev

Quick rant. Cats got neutered. They were prescribed fentanyl. I tore my spine in two places. I got 600mg ibuprofen. They are prancing around acting fine right now. I couldn't walk for three months. Do I resent them for it? Yeah, a bit. That's all.
