A member asked:

I have severe pmdd and probably ibs, also diagnosis with anxiety years ago, would cymbalta (duloxetine) be good for all of these? is it appropriate to bring up to gyno?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You should discuss thoroughly with your gynecologist. Don't be afraid to discuss and / or to try several different medications. Remember, you have to give each med a chance to work (4 to 8 weeks at a given dose).
