Hi everyone!
I have been reading this thread for about 2 hours now.... yall sound very understanding, and I feel like I know some of you already! I just received my sample box of Cymbalta today, and of course had to get the real low down from normal people and not promotion stuff. I just went through an extremely horrible "near death" withdrawal from Effexor XR (which I discontinued because I couldn't remember name, much less be alert for emergency response!- among lots of other things). I have been on Wellbutrin XL for about two months, but for the past few weeks have had the constant broken record in my head about topics to do with my self esteem, social anxiety (even aggitation and LOTS of anxiety). These are my usual problems when I get very depressed (I'm almost certain I have PMDD also). Right now I feel like I have an elephant standing on my chest from the anxiety. BUT HEY!!!! No side effects (go figure). I am hoping the mixture of the Wellbutrin and Cymbalta will help me feel better, I'm just hoping I don't get tons of side effects. Has anyone out there tried this combo? I'm finally back into my normal clothes and can have an orgasm after stopping Effexor. Most of all, What is the withdrawal from Cymbalta like (I don't want to go through another Effexor type withdrawal). Not sure if anyone has got that far yet. Thanks for listening,
Jenna
