crodymaryann, it's so difficult to compose these comments when you are in pain. Thank you for your response. Your feet might feel better if you used otc lidocaine patches. I hope you can find resolution for the migraine, twenty years is too long.
Are you on anti depresents for your depression? If not, I take Nortyptiline for depression and it also works for pain. I get from my psychiatrist who also gives me Valium, but is trying to ween me off of it because they don't like benzos anymore. Also see a pain specialist.
You suffer from a lot more than depression. Find an SSRI that works for you and take care of your body.
Exercise is a great antidepressant and it is free. Combine it with the right SSRI and your problems are solved.
Depression is like alcoholism. Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. That’s why you have meetings and a sponsor. Depression doesn’t just go away one day and never come back. If that is the case with anyone reading this post you really don’t suffer from depression.
As far as side effects show me a drug on the market that doesn’t have any and I will show you a placebo.
Really people stop complaining and do something. Medications are there to treat true depression. Just find one that is right for you. As far as side effects they normally go away in a few weeks. If not find another medication that works better for you.

@crodymaryann
Are you referring to Cymbalta? My understanding is there was a recall but I believe Cymbalta/generic duloxetine is still available.
Are you seeing a neurologist and orthopedic specialist to help you with your migraines and nerve pain plus joint issues? Have you had MRIs of your brain and spine? Have you had EMG/nerve conduction studies on your upper/lower limbs?
You may benefit from working with a psychologist that specializes in chronic pain mental health support and a psychiatrist to help you manage your medications.
