Anxiety, fibromyalgia, depression, extreme pain, the loss of a loved one, and the frightening and disorienting world of multiple medications is surely a life that feels like it's not worth living. I totally understand and sympathize.
I think you should be under direct medical supervision until this can be sorted out-- you should be in hospital. You are constantly in-and-out of withdrawal from up-loading and discarding various medications, as well as suffering from the Cymbalta and hydrocodone withdrawal; before "going on" some other medications it would be wise to clear your body of those medications that are still affecting you either directly, by their interaction, and/or via withdrawal-- establish a baseline outside the influence of the drugs.
All these medications you have named are 'addictive' in that they produce withdrawals once stopped.
I don't know what else to say; I'm so sorry for how you are suffering. I truly wish there were medical facilities that are specifically dedicated to dealing with fallout from psychiatric drugs. Sadly, there are none.
Take care.

I talked to the Dr.'s about that too..that I feel like I should be in a mental hospital right now. I will call the psychiatrist again tomorrow. They ran a genetic test on me thru the milleniumpgt test to see what meds would metabolize/react good with me. My body does not metabolize well to many things it showed. The psyche has me go off the meds for a few weeks and then starts a new one. But I have a heart rhythm disorder, among my other list of ailments so we have to be careful of what I try. I know that my anxiety/depression is genetic. My sister that just died had bipolar, another sister that is fighting (just got over) breast cancer has depression and I had anxiety, OCD, panic disorder and now depression. I know I sound like a mental case. But I can't go to a hospital. When I have tried (a few months ago) they just give me a tranquilizer until I calm down and send me home with instructions to see my psychiatrist. We have two boys that depend on me and my husband might be getting laid off. Maybe I should be seeing a Naturopath instead. I have been trying to get help, I've even seen two different Dr.'s, a psychiatrist, a counselor and a rheumatologist, and they ALL contradict each other. I just want to be happy again

I think you are still experiencing withdrawal symptoms combined Cymb and Hydrocodone- Have you talked with your regular physician or councellor who might try intervention in trying to get you the help you need? Somehow I shy away from recommending going back on Cymb as you will experience similiar side effects with the load on dosages - perhaps an alternative practitioner is the way to go . battle on dear one and keep posting . Btw have you ever been diagnosed with sleep apnea ? the breathing panicky feelings can be symptoms of that as is depression.

Miche31,
I am so sorry for what you are experiencing. I can relate to part of it as lost my daughter and that's when I was given this poison drug.
It seems that you are not having much luck with your Dr.s. Unfortunately, that is so often the case. I know how much more difficult things are when you have children to care for. Do you have any good friend or family member that can help you out?
I wish that I had some good advice for you - have you asked your Psych to hospitalize you?
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted.
Hugs,
Liz

Anxiety, fibromyalgia, depression, extreme pain, wake up in full gasping for air, my body does not metabolize well, a heart rhythm disorder...
All of these are sleep apnea symptoms, have you considered this as a possible root cause?
I would recommend you to talk to a sleep specialist and have a PSG test.
Please consider it; I have seen it many times.
Try to get info on this, it is well worth to rule out.
Best wishes!
