Please clarify your question and provide more details

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You seem to have some psychiatric problem and probably it is depression. You have tried zoloft, effexor,cymbalta,wellbutrin,seroquel and prozac but they are not effective. 5-HTP does not work also. You have stopped cymbalta 10 weeks ago.

Desvenlafaxine or mirtazapine is still remaining option if you are suffering from depression.

You mentioned, "I was wondering about the check swab''. What do you want to convey through this is not clear. Please clarify the question.

Let me know more information with clear question you want to know.

- Since when are you suffering from psychiatric illness?

- What are the current symptoms and medicines?

- Do you have any physical illness?

- What is your height and weight?

- Any other information you want to share if you feel important.

- Please mention your question clearly that what do you want to know from our side.

I will be happy to help after getting response from your side.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
