Ive only been on the meds for about 4 months so its to early for me to comment.Ive noticed a little difference in my mood but i have my down days every once in awhile.So my doctor decided to switch me to cymbalta.And now im having problems with my blood pressure ever since.So i stopped taking the cymbalta but my b.p. is still giving trouble.My family wants me to stop taking everything because they think i dont need it.And now im very conflicted about what to do.Any advice would be appreciated.
