Best Answer

Some anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs have dual or experimental uses. It doesn't mean that your doctor thinks you've suddenly turned into a nutjob.

Most commonly they're used in conjunction with some types of painkillers, as it helps to augment the treatment in some people (although I can honestly say none of those kinds of drugs ever helped my pain meds).

Still, you should never take anything prescribed by a doctor that you don't know why he/she is giving it to you. Doctors, contrary to popular belief, don't know as much as we think and sometimes prescribe meds incorrectly. That I nearly lost my life in a hospital due to a drug screwup is my own proof. Don't find out by being dead just because you trusted a doctor's word for it. KNOW WHY THEY'RE PRESCRIBING SOMETHING FOR YOU. These people are on the Drug Companies' list - their whole careers are guided by them to make them dependent on the drugs they want them to push and prescribe to you.

Always remember what they call the guy who finishes dead last in his class in Medical School: Doctor.

Do you have to wean off lexapro to start taking Cymbalta?

Cymbalta is an SNRI, meaning it increases both serotonin and norepinephrine, while lexapro is an SSRI, meaning it increases only serotonin. These drugs that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters MUST BE SWITCHED GRADUALLY. If switching from cymbalta to lexapro, the physician should induce a "step-down" therapy on the cymbalta while inducing a "step-up" therapy on lexapro. This ensures a level amount of drug in the blood, and minimizes the chance of recurrence and adverse effects.


Does anyone have vertigo or swishing noises when turning head while coming off of lexapro?

Yes! I started taking Lexapro about 4 weeks ago and I ran out of the trial packs my doctor gave me. He gave me 10mgs. to start on. I have not taken it in four days, and I feel weird! Vertigo feeling, panick, crying, can't concentrate, "buzzy" feeling in my head, bad dreams, can't sleep, nausea, VERY sensative to everything!(light, noise, touch, etc.) He put me on Lexapro to help deal with my Fiancee's deployment to Iraq, recently. I felt better about things, before all these withdrawal symptoms started happening....hang in there, and keep bugging your doctor about getting on something else!

What do you do if you are always depressed and have to fight for fun?

Talk to your doctor about it, and they will put you on medication if that is what you want. Being a peacemonger I don't believe in fighting. Then again maybe that's why I don't have fun. Seriously though, I just go back to sleep. Make the world go away, etc etc.
