How long has cymbalta been on the market. ? I have been given for depression and GAD. Previously I was on wellbuton, prozac and I didnt like Zolof. I have had health problems and no diagnosis the wondering and wanting answers has depressed me more then normal. but Im afraid of medications, side effects or getting worse rather then better. But I feel the fear of medications might be hurting me more then helping. I wonder about the worse side effects? my joint/muscel stiff moving pain has been unanswered, for 1 1/2 years and prednisone is only help but not good to be on. Ive been to nuerologist, had brain scan and c spine MRI, now awaiting rheumotologist, I ve had the c-proteen test and it doesnt show RA, but no appnt till 1-20 in the mean time and with the holidays and winter which also get me down, I have prescription waiting at CVS to get, but want to know more about the medication before I start. thank you.
