Hi. I have posted two replies, but they have just seemed to go away.. can't find them..do you ever delete answers you don't like? I sure hope not - but where do my posts go?? Am I doing something wrong?

I had some technical problems earlier this week, but the board was just unavailable. I've not had any posts disappear.

What were the nature of your posts? I ask because of your question about posts that someone doesn't like. I would imagine that anthing respectful and constructive wouldn't be deleted, since that is the nature of a support board. I've had nothing but wonderful luck and responses here, since we are all here to obtain a sense of sanity while dealing with withdrawal. Maybe your stuff was lost during the technical problems earlier this week.

nrsk1 - I saw and replied to your first post that and it "disappeared" too. I think that last week there were some technical difficulties with this site, as there were many times I could not even log on to this site.

Best of luck to you.

Hi Julia,

I'm a member and don't have these problems. You DO need to log in when you want to 'interact' with others. Do you do this, or is it still a problem, even when you log in with a name and password? I know there have been a few problems along these lines.

regards, maureen.

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.

I have RSD/CRPS and have been on 60 mg. Cymbalta for six months. I found this website when looking up info on possible withdraw symptoms and found it overwhelmingly helpful. I have never communicated like this before but I would like some suggestions. Also, it made me feel (for the first time) a sense of support for one another which I haven't had sense this has all happened to me two years ago. Thank you.

I am new to this site and started to get emails from a Quarnedyday. I found this to be quite offensive. Can you block this correspondence?

Just lately I have seen spammers attacking this site. It's driving me crazy since the real posts get buried in their trash.

I think that you can block other members......go to the top right where your profile name is and a drop down box comes up. It's the last option....'manage ignored users'. When the screen changes over you can type his screen name in and then hit ignore.

Thanks!! I was able to follow your instructions so let's hope for the best. I started withdrawal last night going from 60mg to 30mg. If it is too much I will go by your bead method. I found one of your older postings explaining how to reduce. You are a great resource!!! Thanks again.

Happy-

If you can get some 20mg pills that helps dropping down too. I was able to do 10mg drops by using the 30mg and 20mg pills in different combinations. I didn't have to start counting beads until I was down to less than 20mg.
Hope that you can escape with minimal pain
