Hi everyone, my primary wanted me to see a psych doctor for my depression meds so I made an appointment. I was on 300 mg of effexor and 100mg for over ten years.
It was no longer working. She immediately took me off both meds and startedme on 30 mg of cymbalta. A week later up to 60 mg.
I started having joint and bad muscle pain. I use to do cross fit type exercise not great at it but I could do it. Now I can barely walk up stairs. Constant pins and needles in hands and severely depressed. I went off cymbalta thinking that was the cause. It wasn't. My friend who is a nurse figured it out. Name above is what it is. So PC thinks I have muscle damage need blood work done. I thought I had Lyme I was so sick.
