Hello.

I have zero appetite. My stomach rumbles, but I feel like I'm trying to choke down food on a full stomach. It take me an hour to eat my breakfast. I eat very little now, and I am losing weight fast.

I seem to have lost the ability to cry now, and I need that release badly.I feel sad, frightened and very spaced - out and tired, but I cannot cry. I just want to vomit, but I've managed to keep what little food I eat down so that I can get some nutrition. I manage to take Omega 3, multi - vitamins, potassium, and melotonin.

I have been completely off of Cymbalta since May 23rd, and I was doing OK until recently when the anxiety and depression really hit hard. This follows the same pattern I went through with my Zoloft withdrawal in 2001. Three months after I had stopped I got hit very hard. But I went ahead and got back onto Zoloft.

I DO NOT want to go back onto Cymbalta. I've been on SSRI's for about 14 years and I want off! I know this is not "normal" depression/anxiety for me. When I was talked into taking Zoloft 14 years ago, I was not feeling nearly as bad as I am now.

DivineChemical and Marbles thank you both for your responses.

DivineChemical I like what you said about not settling for lemonaid, but demanding more. I also like you suggestion on drinking a nutritional shake, I have some in my kitchen and I will start drinking it.

Marbles, Thank you for telling me I am in your prayers. Knowing that someone is praying for me is very comforting and it released me from the frozen dispair so that I could cry. Thank you so much.
