    I am a sufferer of depression and GAD. After 20 years of suffering with undiagnosed GAD (to be fair to the medical profession, it wasn't in the DSM back then) I stumbled upon Aropax following a bout of depression. Having had the therapy I badly needed at the time, I came good and did well on Aropax for 11 years. Last year I started having difficulty with sleeping and thought I was suffering the poop out effect, so I switched to Lexapro. A few months later I realised it was causing me more problems than it was solving so my GP agreed to give me a referral to a psychiatrist - so we could work out the best medicine for me. Nearly 3 weeks on Cymbalta and I've stopped already. I've had restlessness, increased insomnia (I now recognise that there is more to that), an inability to concentrate (the opposite of the real me) and nausea. I want to converse with others who are going through the same issues with medication.

Hi everyone

I have to brag! I went to Adelaide last week as my autistic son was competing in the National Special Olympic Games. He travelled and stayed with the Victorian team which was a fantastic experience for him. They stayed in an Olympic Village which meant he was with his teammates throughout. Just perfect for a 20yo!!

We stayed in an apartment and 2 other families we know were staying in the same building so we had dinners and coffee together and stuff. The organisers put on a Families and Supporters Function at the Zoo where we got to see the Chinese Pandas who are there. The camaraderie throughout the week was fantastic, among both the athletes themselves, and the families and supporters who were there. A tremendous experience.

And....

Jason won silver in his long jump and bronze in his 200M.

    I am currently on Cymbalta after many years of other drugs including Zoloft, Wellbutrin and Effexor. I had a terrible experience coming off of Effexor that resulted only in my going back on, then changing to Cymbalta. I feel, at this point, that the drugs are causing as many problems as the initial depression did, and am looking at the possibility of coming off but am living this year in rural Italy and need some real support in considering this possibility and its consequences.
