Hello.

I'm aware that this is a withdrawal site. I didn't want to appear as the girl that showed up and discussed my venture into it, ignoring the purpose of this board. I'm just concerned, as I'm sure anyone else would be.

Doc diagnosed me with Melancholic Depression. Said he was worried about my well being and I should start on 30 mg. of Cymbalta a day. After a week he upped me to 60, which is where I am now. I have been on the 60 mg for two days, after five days of the 30.

I've never felt stranger- but I can see where this could either be the depression or the drug. My money of course is on the drug.

Nothing sounds good. NO food appeals to me. The other night I literally cried through a TV dinner because it was so difficult to make myself eat each bite. But one must eat for survival obviously, so I do.

Nausea is present of course.

Not sure where this is going, or what more to expect. Sometimes I think it's a mistake. Sometimes I think I need to at least see what it could do, if anything.

I'm just a bit lost.

STOP TAKING THIS CRAP! YOU WILL NEVER GET OFF IT! I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR SEVEN YEARS AND DID GET OFF FOR NINE MONTHS. I HAD TO GO BACK ON TO STOP THE SIDE EFFECTS. I WILL NEVER ESCAPE THIS DRUG AND THE BODY BECOMES DEPENDENT ON IT!

That's crazy. I feel that I will stop soon. For some reason I just feel like I need it now.
Is it really that bad? The longer I take this will I become more dependent on it?
