Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history. I feel sorry about your repeated breakdown.
I will have to say that it would be extremely difficult to understand the reasons for nervous breakdown. However I would suggest a few treatment options which may be helpful to you:
1. Anti depressant drugs like duloxetine or peroxetine.
2. Psychotherapy - counseling and stress management.
3. Yoga, meditation and breathing exercise.
Combination of all the three will help you get over these breakdowns. Therefore you should consider reporting back to the treating psychiatrist who will adjust the dose of symbalta or may choose another drug. I would like to see your doctor rule out physical causes like thyroid dysfunction via simple blood tests. In addition you should also go for stress management and counseling which will help to come out of it on faster way.
As you plan the aforementioned options, start doing yoga, meditation and breathing exercise. They will help you to come out of fear and will prevent further breakdown.
I hope I have addressed your concern. Feel free to revert to me in case if you have further query.
Regards
