Hey Shambles, so sorry to hear about this issue. I’m no medical authority by any stretch of the imagination here but I was struck by the notion that perhaps the combination of meds may be reaching a zero tolerance point for you. Before they start prescribing additional things to “help” they really should be looking at the ones you’re presently on and for how LONG they have been used. Some of these meds can change body chemistries over time and create a different physiological landscape entirely that new additions can aggravate. I sincerely feel your frustration with this thing. I wish so often that the method of treatment would look more holistically towards the condition. It’s so often more than just take this pill. Hang in there buddy.

Thanks Marc. I wondered about that myself – if the meds are no longer acting the way they used to. This Cymbalta is supposed to kind of give a boost to the Citalopram; if that’s the case then I would think it should be a short-term solution. I’ve been on the Citalopram for about six years so I could definitely see how I could develop an immunity to it or that it might not work the same way now, if at all. I appreciate your concern and kindness.
