I just wanted to let you all know I'm feeling better lately. Don't know why but the depression is subsided some. Guess it goes with the old saying, "This too shall pass"
Liz, I am glad you are feeling better... god, i know what you mean! Hope things continue to get better for you! Things are better here too... maybe the cymbalta is finally getting in my system? Uggh... who knows...lol! Anyways, glad to know you are feeling better!
Love you, Bri ;)
Love you, Bri ;)
Hey Bri,
Thanks....Don't forget to take the cymbalta. It's like if you forget a day it can really mess you up big time. I am noticing if I am consitant with taking it everyday, I feel so much better.

Hey Liz and Bri, I had no idea that you two were taking Cymbalta. Yeah, I'm on it too and have been for some time now and Liz, you are right, if you miss a dose, it gives me a wicked headache. You two take care and hang in there Liz, I'm back at ground zero again but I'm down to one pill a day since I started tapering last Friday. Hopefully by this weekend I will jump off totally. You all have a great night.
Hey Liz and Pam... do ya'll get really dizzy vertigo if you miss a dose? I think that's why i was really dizzy last week.
Yeah, it will do that to you. Also they say that those headaches are called brain shocks or something like that. Kinda like a bolt of electricity going thru your brain, I guess. They made me sick to my stomach for a little while and now I just take them at bedtime. What dose are you on Bri? I'm on 30mg. could not take the 60 mg that they bumped me up to.
Yeah! Thats exactly what it felt like...like waves of electricity going through my head and it made everything jump or something. I am on 30mg for now... they took me off Paxil bc i was having major depressed episodes. The first week was hell on cymbalta (about a week or two ago). Man, I am lucky they didn't hospitalize me. But, i think if i just give the cymbalta a little bit longer it will start to work more... i have heard alot of good stuff about it. My doctor said if this one doesn't work, since i have been on all the others he will send me to a psychiatrist... yeah, just what i need another dr in my life. But, i think i am starting to tell a difference, you know it just takes a while to get in your system. Love, Bri :)
LMAO Bri, that is what my doctor told me. Said he was sending me back to the shrink if this didn't work and I already have two shrinks.........duh.........
Guess they'll want to shock my brain next and that ainta happening. My brother n law had that crap done several times and it messed him up big time. His memory was for chit after he let the shrinks zap him. Bless his heart.
Dayum these doctors wanting us to keep feeding the shrinks.
Maybe you had such a hard time with the Cymbalta since you c/t off of the Paxil. i too have taken every a/d out there and this one really seems to be helping the most. I loved my Serzone but it really wasn't working anymore and I did need the change. Boy, they almost had to pry that bottle of Serzone out of my hands, I was hanging onto it for dear life. This Cymbalta is kind of pricey huh........Oh well, as long as it works, I'm gonna keep on taking it.
I hope you are feeling good today. I've had a rather good day and believe it or not, I only took about a two hour nap. Hopefully tonight I won't wake up with the crawly skin. That sucks, big time. You would think that I would learn after all of the times I have gone thru this mess.

I'm on 60 mgs. I woke up several times with a pounding headache. Maybe that's what it was from Pam, my missing doses. I have a hard time remembering to take them everyday. Never missed doses of narcotics though. Go figure.
Pam... ugh... I know, my hubby nearly flipped when we went to go buy it. Dude, theyre proud of it huh? So, it had better work! LOL! I hope you don't wake up with crawly skin either... i hated that feeling! Hang in there sweety! I will be back later... gotta go buy some soup... yuck... can't wait til i can eat normal again! Love ya lots! Bri :)
Yep Liz, that is what it probably is. Go figure, we addicts never forget to take our doc........what is up with that..... I could never remember to take my birth control pills or any other medicine for that matter, but give me a bottle of pain pills and I can remember to take them everytime. Well, I'm gonna slay this dragon soon and hopefully this time it will be the last. TAKE YOUR CYMBALTA or I'm gonna remind you everyday...........lol
LMAO Bri, they are dayum proud of it... Maybe they think it is laced with Platinum or Gold........I almost died when I went and got my first script. You know I'm the tight wad in my house. Anyhow, my Mom said she thought that it was gonna cost like 300 bucks and I was praying she was wrong and she was. It is about half that much where I get mine at. Oh well, a small price to pay for our sanity and NO depression.
Hey Pam,
Thank God I get county charge. The County pays for my medication. 100% of it. Can you believe that?
Lately I've been doing good at remembering to take the cymbalta. When I realized missing doses was causing me more problems I started to make sure I didn't forget to take them.
Love,
Liz

Good for you Liz,,,,,,,,now just remember to take it everyday......I saw where you are gonna go and look for a job. You'll do great. Hang in there girl.
Yeah, Thought if I can find some work I won't have so much time being stuck here depressed all day long. Having extra money would take a lot of stress off of me too. Espcially with the Holidays coming. argh
Oh God, I hate the holidays and i wish that I could work but my health just won't allow it.
Hi Liz,
I am glad to see that you are feeling better and that things look brighter.....
You make sure you are taking good care of you, and not letting the little things bug you to much....
And a note a big note somewhere you check first thing every morning to make sure you don't forget it might help until it becomes an everyday thing. I have to think the more you take it the easier it will be to remember it especially if your mood keeps improving.
You have a great night.....
Love,
Tina
