Hi lybrate-user, I understand that you are going through a depressive mood state. Duloxetine (duvanta) do works to alleviate depression but the dose at which you are taking it is not gonna help.

Lets see how it goes and please let me know about progress after 2 weeks.

Do kegel exercises-- firstly, find the pelvic floor muscles. You can achieve this by stopping mid-stream two or three times the next time you urinate. The muscles you can feel working during this process are the pelvic floor muscles, and they will be the focus of kegel exercises.
One kegel exercise consists of tightening and holding these muscles for 5 seconds and then releasing them. Try to do between 10 and 20 repetitions each day. This may not be possible when you first start doing the ex...more

Hi,
I cannot comment about the medical aspect of your question. You would have to seek a personal consultation with a Doctor for changing your medicine.

Dear lybrate-user Hello You will not be able to stop Symbal. It is antidepressant & until and unless you do not know the cause of depression in psychology and not assessed and not treated with addition of other therapies like ketamine therapy - psychotherapy - supportive therapy - hypno therapy, Rtms therapy etc. You will relapse. Talk to your psychiatrist about above therapies & If available take it and get rid of symbal. If not then come to us.
