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 ???

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
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
