Answers:
if your doctor is not willing to work with you, then find a new one!.
I have the same problem just different meds!.
I explained to my doc how things were and she works with me!. but you've got to talk to your doc!. if a med is not working for you or causing a problem then Don't take it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Personally, I think you should ask your doc to change it!. He shouldn't get mad bc you want to save money (given the hard times we are living in) and because the cymbalta is causing side effects!. He is supposed to cater to his patients needs!. From what I understand, you need him to change your prescription!. Even if he does get mad SO WHAT! Go for it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ask him if he can change them!. Tell him what is going on with your symptoms and the side affects!. Sometimes it takes a while to get the medication right!. He will probably change them unless he thinks there is a good reason you should keep taking Cymbalta!. Your doc is there to help you feel better, not for preventing you from getting well again!.

Your doctor should never get mad at you, you are paying him!. Just tell him your reasons for wanting a medication change and talk it over!. Unless your doctor has specific reasons for keeping you on your current medications changing them should be no problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This happened with my husband and there was no problem!. In this world today, doctors are alot more Flexible!. It is good that you can speak freely!. Do not worry about his answer, but I do not see a problem!.
I hope this helps you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
