Happyflower,
Oh, my sweet friend. How long have you been on the Cymbalta and at what doseage? My Pdoc/T has me on it and when she raised the dose from 30mg to 60mg I got so bad I couldn't get out of bed. She dropped it to 30mg and I don't feel any better. All I do is cry. I don't want to get out of bed but I have to force myself to because I've had so many things going on these past few months. I've stuck it out for 5 mos. because she thought it would help me but when I see her again, I'm done. I'm not trying to make excuses but it is very uncharacteristic of me to snap at people I care about like I did with you(especially in a thread where you were asking about me). I really am sorry. I've been doing it with my family, too. I've been depressed, irritable, a b%&#h, all I do is cry, I don't want to get out of bed. I adore my Pdoc/T and I've been with her for 10 years. I trust her judgement and she always asks my opinion about everything we do as far as meds go. We thought there were other things contributing to the severity of my depression but I'm convinced now, it's the Cymbalta. The next time I see her, it's going to be no more Cymbalta for me. I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to steal your thread. It's just I'm convinced the Cymbalta made me worse and I think that might be what's happening to you. It has the potential to do that. I'm sorry this is so negative but I want you to be aware of what the Cymbalta can do. Please take care of yourself. You're my friend and I care about you. ((((((((((HF)))))))))) Hugs
