Hi Scott,

> I'm happy that you are taking yet another step. Let's hope your foot lands on the first step of the stairway to recovery. I look forward to watching you smile.Thanks for the good wishes. I don't know why, but I was a little surprised she suggested Cymbalta when I talked about antidepressants. Maybe it's that "It's new so I'm gonna start prescribing it a lot" thing. Or maybe she's just happy with what it's doing for some of her patients. Even though I was envisioning trying an older drug, I have no reason to not be open-minded about it. I used to feel hopeful when trying new medication. Now I just dread it. Will report back in a week or so.
I am sorry you're backsliding. I really hope it's temporary. If this persists another day or two, then yeah, maybe you're ready to try an increase and see if you can avoid going too far down.
Feel better,
em
