Vitamin D and anxiety/depression

Posted by yanks950 @yanks950, 5 days ago

I am 36/m and have suffered from anxiety/depression for years. I have been on 90mg Duloxetine for approx 4 years and don’t remember the last anxiety problem. I dont get attacks. I get a random all day spike that then takes an unknown amount of time to come back down. I have really been struggling now for going on 2 weeks.

My Vitamin D is extremely low and have been told that could be causing this. Is this true? What are your experiences.

@ yanka950 Hi, I note you have been using Duloxetine 90mg for four years for your anxiety. I'm glad it's helpful for you. I've been taking the Lily Cymbalta (Duloxetine) 60 mg for 10 years for lower back pain, and it was quite helpful in reducing that pain. However, as you may know, Eli Lily has stopped producing Cymbalta in late September 2024, and my recent refill request was filled by my druggist with a generic duloxetine! The generic company was Sandoz, a reputable drug manufacturer. Sadly though, the generic version of Cymbalta hasn't been effective at all and has thrown up many weird side effects. Can you tell me who is the manufacturer of your Duloxetine? Since it works so well for you, it seems a logical choice for trying it to replace my original Cymbalta. Thanks, and best wishes. Glen Jones

The brand I take is by Breckenridge. Not sure if that’s what I have always been on.
