What Causes Stomach Discomfort While On Cymbalta And Xanax?

I have a hard time taking a depression pill because of my stomach, tried many. I am taking a small dose of Cymbalta 10 mg. Trying to stop taking any but had a physical and mental breakdown many years ago taking care of my husband who had a stroke. I also take xanax for anxiety. I need help, my doctor wants me to take one and this is the only one that doesn t make my stomach very sick, but sometimes feel angry, mad hollering at my husband, think it works the opposite sometimes? I need another opioion. Joyce G.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yoi are having stressful life. You are under constant stress. This makes you prone for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
This GERD is the likely cause for your stomach problem.
So best treatment for this in your case is stress management.
Only drugs are not sufficient to control stress. You should also take counselling sessions by psychologist.
This will definitely help you more.
You should also take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach for stomach problems.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
