I have spent the past 6 years trying various medications for stress, irritability and mild depression. I have tried aurorix, effexor, zoloft, prozac, and now cymbalta. Enough already. Each one (with the exception of aurorix) has been worse than my original problems.

I came across this site this weekend after only being on cymbalta (60mg) 3 weeks. Thank you all for sharing. I have thrown my Cmybalta in the bin. This is day 2, and so far, so good. I am expecting some difficulty, but I am hopeful that my short time on this drug will make it manageable.

I am giving up on a medical solution to my issues. I am going to concentrate on herbal solutions and exercise (as soon as I have some energy LOL) Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. My cortisol levels are high, but the doctors tell me everything else is normal

Keep the great posts coming. I really appreaciate hearing from others who have been on this horrible treadmill.
