Thanks for your advice. We are thinking of adding Cymbalta if I get diagnosed with CF/Fibro. I have tried it before and it works fairly. Any of the other SNRI drive me crazy.
Greetings> Using amphetamine alone for treating depression is largely regarded as bad practice. It is used sometimes for augmenting another medication with antidepressant properties.
> Its good for concentration and fatigue, but I dont know that it offers much in the way of pain relief. Youd want a NRI for pain and fatigue.
> desipramine, atomoxetine, maybe wellbutrin. Personally I like desipramine a lot. The pain relief is good and the anxiety is low.
> I wouldnt depend on it to keep your depression in check over the long term. Usually the first few doses will make you feel really good. Once your body becomes used to the drug the response falls off. Over the long term you will likely need more to keep the AD effect.
> Id stick to using it for concentration and fatigue, but look into something else for the pain relief and AD effect, its just too risky.
