[QUOTE="Freema, post: 1290404, member: 329519"] yes actually it worked fantastic for me in 4-5 years Cymbalta which is a SNRI, It gave me much more energy and I even lost about 10 kg of my overweight....... then suddenly I started to get an odd bodysmell from it so that my daugther didn´t like to hug me and I got some bad infections in my head 3 times in a short period that could have developed to be life threatening, and I could sit up and faint, so as I didn´t know what caused it I tried to quit the cymbalta as it was the only body-foreing substance I was taking, and it all disapeared and I haven´t had any problems with body smell and infections and fainting like that since.. My not identical twin sister did develop swollen legs from i right from the start and did quit i very soon after... but it was a Blessing the first many years of use for me... Then later I got again a depression and as the SSRI´s and SNRI´s didn´t seem to be able to help me anymore my doctor send me to a psychiatrist that allowed me to use the serequel that I got from him to only emergency situations... but I needed something in an everyday basis as I am a single mother and was extremely tired and depressed all the time and my daughter has no contact at all to her father and his family... so I started taking serequel every day and upped my dosis and then got psyk´s aproval and ended up in a very high dosis the more the better I felt and it felt like my brain was repaired and my tiredness went totally away, but I gained about 1-2 kg a month even on high levels of levothyroxin./thyroid hormon.. and then I got diabetes, probably from this serequel-combined with the very rapid weight-gaining... so well , just want to tell you it might be a huge help for you but can in the longer run have very bad side effects.... so it is your choice ... and by the way I have kept some of my serequel tablets for very seldome use but otherwise stopped as I was shocked over the consequences .....but maybe you can have it for only half a year and not like forever...
