Why don't some of the pdocs, and others, understand there are some meds that are just not compatible with our biological makeup. Other meds cause allergic reactions, so why would AD's be so different? It may not be a typical "allergic" reaction but it is definately an adverse reaction, not an inconvenience to be ignored.

Remember, suicidal ideation was not always considered a SE of AD's and we only learned that after ignoring the side effects for God knows how long. How many people had to die before we finally learned that not all suicides were caused by the depression but rather from the medication?

When will some people understand that there are some AD's that will make us worse, rather than better. All drugs have these kind of effects and people with other illnesses are listened to and believed when they say the med is causing them such distress. Why can't psychiatric patients be given the same credibility as others? We still have the ability to experience what is real and our assessment of a med should be given full credibility for our judgement. We are the best judge of how a med is working, not our doctor or anyone else who hasn't had a similar reaction to the same med.

I stopped Cymbalta after two weeks due to a worsening of my depression...end of trial...no regrets...move onto the next med...there is no time to waste when it comes to treating depression. Life is too fleeting to waste time on useless or harmful medications. Stargazer
