Hi StarI am so sorry about your son and mum. You are going through a lot. I wonder why your doctor took you off citalopram? Seems it would help you at the moment. Maybe trazadone is a better antidepressant.

I take escitalopram for anxiety and depression and it works very well. Also pregabalin for FM.

Sounds like you’re in that place right now where nothing seems to be helping. It will get better. Took me about two years to get over my sister’s death. Long illness with Lupus. Although the pain never goes away,it will fade a little.

Try to relax and enjoy the sleep you get with trazadone instead of fighting it. Pain management may suggest physical therapy, which I have found helps as long as you keep up with it.

Please do not try low dose, or any dose of fentanyl if you can help it. Worked at first for my sister but eventually it stopped working. Can do lots of damage.

Positive thoughts going your way.
