In reply to Depression breakthrough vs poop-out, posted by ClearSkies on January 2, 2006, at 20:36:22
> I've been severely depressed for 10 days now. Funny how it coincided with the holidays, yes? So, is this breakthrough depression or has my 60mg of Cymbalta, which I've been on for a year, pooped out?
>
> In that year I've had bad days during which I've been able to recognize that they would pass and I'd be back at my passable, just almost motivated self. Had a few hypomanic episodes resulting in completed domestic projects and hysterical (thanks, Lar) arguments with spouse.
>
> Now I'm at that self-loathing, sleeping too much, can't be bothered to bathe or dress mode. Getting in the car to get groceries is way too much trouble and cooking is a remote not quite possibility. Why bother. TV is not interesting. Books are not registering, the same page read over and over again. What is happening - my family or is a change of meds in my future?
>
> Thanks for any thoughts.
> p.s. anxiety is also bad at the moment. No panic attacks... yet.except for the anxiety, this is how effexor made me feel. could be the holidays (this time of year is always bad for me, but much worse this year), could be the effeccts of your meds waning or a combination of both. hope this finds you feeling better.
