Greybeard -

Glad to hear you are through the "worm hole". That is terrific. And day 65 so that means I might have about 35 more days to go with this. Have noticed I've been in an extremly foul mood today. Maybe more withdrawal symptoms I didn't have before, or maybe just anger from having 2 inempt doctors.

But am happy for you!

Hey GreyBeard glad to hear that you have made it over the "hump" and now finally rid of the horrors that is Cymbalta! 65 damn days of extra pain and suffering is not right at all but sure glad there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Greybeard, I am glad to hear you are doing better and hope that life continues to get better. I know that after my experience with all of this, I have a new appreciation for everything, big and small.

Your posts sound more positive and upbeat. My best wishes for your continued health!

I'm still figuring out what exactly happened with this stuff, why some are relatively un-effected by cymbalta and others are devastated by it. It's not just random chance, there's a key here somewhere. And there are some valuable lessons too......

You know, I keep wondering the same thing myself. Why do some people have no problems and others a nightmare?

I don't think that I will ever figure it out entirely, it just might be how long you took it, how you come off and how your brain chemistry reacts or does not react when cymbalta is gone. I just feel greatful that I don't have to go through it again.

This week sucked for me.
My oldest dog has Pancreatitis, I have been taking him to the vet every day for tests/observation and IVs for his loss of fluid. This is his second bout of it and fortunately, I knew what it was right from the start and went straight to the vet. He is going to be fine, but it does take a few weeks for total recovery. Mentally I did not fall to pieces, I am upset of course but handling it.

My basement flooded, twice (after it started raining yet again). I could care less about it (the basement), the mess can wait until my dog is better. My priorities are in order!
