re: antidepressants
Dear K L Aguilar,
Please check in to an anti-depressant as they can be helpful. The pain meds alone can cause depression not to mention pain and an altered lifestyle being major contributors of depression. I am on Cymbalta which also has the added benefit of some pain relief although I can't tell that it is doing anything for my pain. Sometimes I don't believe it is helping my depression until I miss taking it or try to take my self off of it and then I am so depressed I want someone to shoot me and put me out of my misery. LOL but not at the time. Be careful on what you choose to take because many of them can cause weight gain which can also be a cause for increased depression at least it is for me. Cymbalta doesn't cause weight gain but many of them do. I am still waiting to hear from Dr. Regan to see if a revision for me is going to be possible with a 3 level problem. I sure hope so or I don't know what I will do.
Best wishes on getting some help with the depression!
Roblin
