Can you please advise me on pain and depression medicine that I will not put on heaps of weight. I m currently taking Cymbalta,Tramol and Lyrica,but due to a burst fracture T12 and nerve damage etc 3 yrs ago,I ve clocked up 15 kgs in weight in that period. I d like to know a tablet ,similar to Cymbalta,ie pain and antidepressant that can be comparable with SR Tramadol 100. I want to come off Lyrica as well. I think this causes weght gain also ??? Regards Wendy
You can try any tricyclic antidepressant like amitriptyline or imipramine. That would help to control depression as well as somatic complaint. You can also try another antidepressant like opipramol or pain killer. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
