Cymbalta and POTS

This is not what I wanted to here today. My doctor said the Cymbalta is not a recommended drug to be on with POTS

Im kinda freaking out. I've been on it for about a year now and my depression has been very stable. I mean I have my bad day but nothing like before I went on this medication. It was really helped me so much. I am not sure if I should change to something else. Plus med changes suck. I don't want to go through all that. I'm going to talk to my therapist tomorrow at my appointment and have to see what he thinks.

Ugh this is not the news I was wanting to get.

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!

@4meAndyou yes that is true I just wasn't thinking it would be the medicine that has helped my depression more than any other I've taken. I am not sure I want to risk going off of it.
