DULOXETINE vs MELOXICAM

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.

I am absolutely going to scream! I had a vacation recently with friends where on the last day my meloxicam got packed into the bag, was unreachable and I hit a flareup mid morning. Not proud of it but I had a meltdown at some point because everything was too much and they wanted to discuss everythin

My pain doctor increased my hydrocodone from 3 a day to 4 a day. My pharmacist refused to fill the prescription. The prescription was sent to them on 10/6. They didn’t fill it. So my Dr sent it again on 10/22. Now I have 2 pills left, and the pharmacist said he needs the Dr to write out his detail

it be like that.

I had to tag this as funny, in a very sarcastic way. Talk about feeling unseen. I am on meloxicam, cymbalta and Humira for my RA. Stretching, Epsom salts baths, plant based diet just in case, meditate, starting therapy, limit my caffeine, medical marijuana. I know what I forgot, ibuprofen!

Hey, all. I have chronic pain due to ehlers danlos, fibromyalgia, carpal and ulnar tunnel in both arms, osteoarthritis in my lower back, and what I think are some other issues that haven't been diagnosed. I've had pain for years and have tried everything over the counter as well as Celebrex, Meloxic

After struggling for years with doctors that either don't take me seriously, try stupid solutions that dont work or just help me learn to "cope with it" instead of working on a diagnosis i got a new primary doctor THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS!!!! I mentioned a few different things i think i could have, she

First, this is a rant and basically nothing but a rant. I'm new here and I've been reading through a lot of posts that might apply to me. I just turned 40 in Feb of this year. Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v

What’s up with Pain management drs not giving out pain killers to people who actually need it? Not everyone has addictive behaviors! I just had shoulder surgery was given a script of 30 OxyContin 5s that’s it and when I asked surgeon to get it refilled I was told to go to pain management. So I go to
