Getting nowhere with doc - can I request a drug I have seen from them?

Have you seen a neurologist?

You can request any med from your doctor. It's up to your doctor to actually prescribe it.Your pain symptoms sound almost like Fibromyalgia. Cymbalta is used to treat this along with depression. I would think this would be the best medication for you.

I think if you go to your doctor with research that you have done and just ask them about Cymbalta, they should have no problem prescribing it to you. Usually when they see that you are concerned and are spending time researching what you think could be wrong, they are supportive in decisions you come to. Usually if they won't give it to you after that there is some reason. But, if your doctor won't give it to you and you really really want to be on it, you can find a doctor that will give you the prescription you want.

Good luck!The pain issues could be handled by a GP, Who put you on the Citralopram? The Citralopram could be the cause of the muzziness feeling. Arthritis or a circulatory problem in your legs could be a cause for pain in your legs and hips.
You didn't mention an age area.
You may need to see a psychiatrist to adjust your meds.
