    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.

I'm speechless. Except to say that somehow, somewhere, there's a disconnect for many doctors. They think the patient is acting bizarrely but it doesn't click that it might be because of the drug, or due to needing more help, not less. To make you promise not to commit suicide then not call? A critical link is broken in their understanding of the doctor patient relationship and their duties of care. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. Keep coming back. I will too.
