Suggest Alternate Medication For Cymbalta To Treat Depression

Hi there Im on Cymbalta for depression, which has worked well however I have crazy nightmares while im on it. Because of this im interested in trying to switch to another anti depresant but there are so many of them now and they have different pathways of working. Could you recommend one i could switch too?

Dear patient i want to tell you that please dont change your medication by yourself before consulting a psychiatrist.Yes cymbalta is known to give nightmares as a side effect.You need to talk to your psychiatrist because these brain meds are very dangerous and can be lethal if played by urself. Dont just follow internet data.99% internet online medical data is wrong.Yes you need to switch to another med but not before consulting a psychiatrist
