Thank you Lesweet1971 - I see my pdoc and med councellor tomorrow - don't know how to spell counsillor. Zoloft was the best for me but it stopped working - Don't know what they will try me on now. I...
I am into my 9th week and still suffering with depression. I am beginning to think it doesn't work for anybody as I certainly haven't heard any rave reviews. So you mean now I have to look forward to...
It may take a while for your Cymbalta to kick back in again. I don't know how long you were on it before it worked for you, but I know in my case I am into my ninth week on Cymbalta and have...
Thanks Karen - Actually we had two little brothers so besides me missing Pepper, his little brother Tigger is walking around looking for him so it is going to be hard all the way around. If my damn...
Thank you everyone - I am still trudging along, however today we had to put our beautiful cat Pepper down as he has arthritus in his back legs, diabetes and blocked urinary tract - I was sad before...
Hi Kitt - so glad your husband is now home. He will be fine and I say this because my husband had been overweight for many many years and would never listen to me about diet, exercise etc. Three...
Not too much improvement - my anxiety is a little better, but my depression is the worst it has ever been on any drug. I really don't know what I am going to do as I am into my 8th week starting...
Going into my eighth week starting tomorrow - not much change. There have to be some Cymbalta people in this group. I have talked to about 4 so far - there has to be more. Yes??????? :idea:...
Where are all the Cymbalta people - you mean this is it for this whole forum, just us few. Couldn't be working for many. Tomorrow I will be starting my 8th week and I would have to say I am the same...
Saw my doctor - upped my dosage up to 90 mgs. He suggested changing medications, but I am going to go the full eight weeks, then nobody can say I didn't try. Hate that I will have to decrease and...
You have come to the right place. Everyone here is very supportive and most of our problems are similar - all related to life and health in general. I am sorry you do not have a big support system...
Thanks Karen - Actually I have been on the computer and phone most of the day and the cheapest so far is a place on line. I checked them out with regard to complaints and compliance with the laws and...
Thanks everyone - I am going to take these now that I have them and if I am not any better, I will hang the boxes from my Christmas tree - most expensive ornaments I will ever own. All I was told...
Well I got the shock of my life today - When I first started out on Cymbalta I was at 30 and then 60 - they upped me to 90 today - I went and got the pills and for two months paid $466.00 - don't...
Thanks Karen - they told me it can take six to eight weeks - I am bound and determined to do that so they can't say I didn't give it my best shot. If it is still like this after eight weeks - I have...
Going into my sixth week - depression is getting worse and you can throw in a touch of anxiety - sure don't feel any movement for the better on this pill. See my doctor tomorrow. Feel like crap....
It is hard to leave - however, if he genuinely cares about you - he knows your children are important to you, therefore they should be important to him. You teach people how to treat you and as long...
I am in Canada too - we have no drug plan as when my husband retired, so did his drug plan so to speak. The first time I picked up the Cymbalta and went to the cash register I darn near fainted - as...
Thanks Karen and Keep Moving. I understand - this is certainly not my first rodeo, I was just wondering about the Cymbalta comment - and your answer to my question is kind of what I was thinking....
Keepmovingforward - just curious about what you said in one of your first posts to me - you said Cymbalta isn't usually the first choice for most people to go on? Why is that. I have a girlfriend who...
Thanks Karen - I will give it the six to eight weeks, but I have to work so hard at it, maybe for nothing. Keep movingforward - You may very well be right about Cymbalta being a bust, but I try so...
Hope somebody can jump in here - this is in connection with my previous posts here - today my depression is worse. I could cry at the slightest thing - Did anyone else find that even at almost five...
Thanks everyone - all good suggestions - will stay the course until the 8 weeks are up and see where I am then. I did try to go back on Zoloft and guess my brain said "what you again" and didn't work...
Actually I thought I should be feeling a lot better by now, but I never like to give up too easily so that my Dr. doesn't think I don't give it my best shot. I have also been on Prozac - might as...
I am on my fifth week of cymbalta - one week at 30 mgs. and four weeks at 60 mgs. I am still struggling and wondered about anybody else being on it. Would so appreciate your experience....
Thanks everybody - how long does it usually last?...
:rolleyes: I am on my 6th day of Cymbalta and started having nausea. Has anyone else had this happen and how long does it last?...
Forgot to ask - does any else have nausea after you take your Cymbalta?...
I am on my first week of Cymbalta so all of us will be going on this journey together. So far I haven't noticed any difference, just a little anxiety in the morning because I have slowly decreased...
I had read all the horror stories with regard to Effexor as well. I was on it for about six months, then developed very bad diarrhea that I couldn't shake. I asked to be changed to another med. They...
Hi Kitt - you have helped so many people in the forums and I am sure it gives you strength to know you are making a difficult journey for someone else a little easier. I sometimes wonder why life has...
So glad you have found a combination that is working for you. Even tho days can be hard sometimes, each day is a gift, sometimes we like the gift, sometimes we don't. Try and do something everyday...
I don't think Jerrica meant to get on your last nerve - however being you are a veteran member, I don't think shooting someone when they are down is in the help section of this forum. Jerrica I...
Hi Majicaltears - Just a suggestion with regard to being a stay at home mom and not being able to keep your mind off your anxiety and other problems - is there anything you like to do, do you sew,...
CLFHM - for what it is worth this has been my experience with Zoloft (Sertraline) - I was on it for over ten years and it was the best medication I have ever been on. The side effects for me were...
Janett - you sound like an absolutely lovely person - and that is not a bad thing. The one thing I have learned about people is not to expect them to do what I would do. Often, situations come about...
:yeah: I was on zoloft for ten years and only felt a little bit of nausea when I first started taking them. You will not throw up, quit thinking you will. The more you eat when you take your pill the...
My zoloft pooped after a 10 year span. It was such a good drug for me and I have never felt as good on anything else as I did on Zoloft. Tried to get back on it but it just would not work for me...
Has anybody increased a dose of medication only to find out that they were doing better on the lower dose. That happened to me, and now I am having trouble levelling off on the lower dose. What a...
I have been on this forum many times posting to try and help people, this time I have a question as I am feeling probably the worst I have ever felt on an increased dosage. I went from 150 mgs. to...
Hi display - I would definitely go and get them relined. I have had that done before and it makes the denture fit like when you first got them. Try it. Good luck....
Check out and see if there is a crisis line in your area. When you are having these feelings you can call them and they are wonderful at talking you through these problems. Especially when it comes...
Sorry you are having a hard time with your dentures. I know what that is like - when they get loose like that it means your gums have shrunk a little since you got them. All you have to do is go and...
Unfortunately when you first start taking any med, you seem to get worse before you get better. Your body is trying to adjust to the med. Give it another week and see how you are doing. Zoloft is a...
It must have been very hard for you but sometimes to help a child tough love is the only way. Don't blame yourself - I am sure you are a great grandpa....
Every morning from now on - when you get up and think you have nobody - just say hello to all of us here - don't have to say it out loud - just in your mind think to yourself - wonder what all those...
You are not crazy nor are you going crazy - you are just going through a difficult time where obviously your hormones are out of whack for some reason. I'm glad you have started the Celexa - as you...
So glad you were able to have a bowel movement - now just make sure you eat enough ruffage - buy bran buds with psyllium, eat lots of veggies - make sure you don't get bunged up again....
:smilewinkgrin: I was on Zoloft for over 10 years and it is a wonderful drug. It gives you your life back. Just remember you have to be on it starting at a low dose for a couple of weeks, then...
You are not alone - you have this precious little girl growing inside of you. I used to talk to my baby all the time while I was carrying her. Sometimes you can pick a song you like and think that...
