My daughter has POTS as well as fibromyalgia, and cymblats is what is prescribed for fibro. As she puts it, "It’s going to be hard either way, so unless I can figure out a way to remedy both situations at one time I’m just choosing my level of hard". So you do what is right for you, if the depression is harder to manage without it, maybe it's better to stick with it.

Well, you did go to the doctor to have him re-evaluate your meds, so you had to have had some idea that there might be changes. I am super sorry that the doctor found ONE of the drugs you find essential to be contra-indicated.

Stay strong through the changes...pay attention to your doctors, and try VERY hard to be brave through all of this!

I hope you find a way to figure it out. I've also found Cymbalta to be magically wonderful and will probably take it till my dying day. And on my dying day too.

One of the side effects of Cymbalta is POTS, especially in the first few weeks. It can also surface later. It's possible it's the cause of your POTS
