[BrainDrain]

Cymbalta worked. I decided to stop using it as an existential exercise in "what am I really feeling?". Over the last month my anxiety levels were going nuts and I thought WTF? I began to challenge my assumptions on what I thought was working. 2 years ago when i started using C, my life was quite different. C helped calm my internal storms, so I could sort things out and be a reasonable human being. Do I still need the C? About 1 1/2 week off it and I have a bit of withdrawals and body/brain zaps, psychodelic time/space experiences. So far the trip is worth it...i am finding a little bit more of me each day. My family and friends give me the thumbs up on balanced mood and life living.

Funny, at this time I am finding myself listening to people with SEVERE depression issues. I share my experience, strength and hope with them. I feel that depression is a crisis that requires a multifaceted approach. C and other drugs work wonders. As to the lasting damage of C? The drug company has no info, nor would they share it they did. I would go to a naturopath or accupunturist to talk about your chi. Our bodies are big energy systems. C temporarily re-wired us...without the drug, what will my body do? I keep myself intune spiritually and listen to my family. I am evolving spiritually.

PS: I wrote this initially in reply to "lasting damage of C", but thought it needed its own thread under experiences.

Peace to my C related family here.
