I have been taking Cymbalta for a month, starting at 30mg and now at 60mg. I experience side effects like feeling spaced out, tired, and lack of concentration, which are also symptoms of my depression. I'm concerned these side effects are from the medication and not improving after 5 weeks. Should I continue taking Cymbalta, and if not, how should I taper off, and are there other antidepressants with fewer side effects that you recommend?

I have an ear infection and have been taking Amoxicillin 500mg (2x twice a day for 10 days) for five days now. My ear is still plugged due to fluid in the middle ear, which is proving very difficult to live with. Will the ear eventually clear by itself? Is there anything I can do (like using heat) to speed up the process?

I woke up with severe chest pain that feels like burning. This has happened before, usually in the morning, and drinking water makes it go away every time. I have no shortness of breath, high cholesterol, and no history of heart disease. What could be causing this and is it serious?

Is it weird that my cough is productive and has lasted for weeks, and could it be due to residual inflammation or lung metastasis?

What can I do about my body acne? Since I was a teenager, I've always had acne on my back, and it makes me self-conscious to take my shirt off. Are there any home remedies or practices to get rid of my back acne once and for all?
