Hi,

Cymbalta is also given for depression, and let me inform you that no medicine could depress you, it is the psychological condition of a person that brings the depression. Of course, some factors are there that plays the role too but not the medicine, you are already taking a number of drugs for depression it is advisable to cut down some of them, a similar drug like Cymbalta you are already taking. All the drugs you mentioned here are similar to Cymbalta.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
