Is Cymbalta Recommended For Depression While Suffering From Diabetes?

I have had a bad cough like a smoker ( I clean houses) for about a year. I wake up with rib pain and popping of ribs. I'm tired and nausious a lot of the time with head aches. I'm a 52 year old female. I have since gained a lot of weight since feeling like this and have been put on cymbalta for depression. I have not gone to a regular phsyician since 2004 for a mere check up. What could be up. Diabetes runs in my family and mostly high blood pressure.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used in the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Most common side effects of Cymbalta include nausea, dry mouth, constipation, somnolence, hyperhidrosis, and decreased appetite.

If you have diabetes, duloxetine may affect your blood sugar levels. Check your blood sugar levels regularly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet. Please talk to your doctor for further advise.
