it's not easy but it has given me hope. There have been days where I was again hopeful and saw into the future. I could see myself running my Business again. I still get anxiety and I get down but I have not thought about suicide since Sept 5! I do not sleep all hours of the day everyday like I used to. I sleep normal hours at night, from 12am through 7 or 8 am. I care about myself again, I shower every night before bed and wake up ready for my treatments. After my treatments I usually on good days go to my office and work. I am the president of my company and I was at the reigns 7 days a week and 12-14 hr days, and I loved it. You could not keep me from it. It's my love. Well actually my husband is my love and it was his biz before I came on board 16 yrs ago! Now he's been taking over in my absence. It's been a real struggle. I cried when I went to see Dr. Hutton at TMS center and he told us that I was disabled and that I should apply for disability! I nearly died. How could a legal drug do this much harm? How come pharmacietical co's not liable for this mess? Please see my post.

Very interesting post. I really hope it helps -it is probably altering the bodies inherent magnetic fields. Some people try wearing very powerful magnetic wrist bracelets and these have had major success with some patients. The Chakra points are in fact major focal points for the bodies magnetic fields. It is a mind blowing form of treatment.
When my wife was very ill following the tragic death of our only son, her consultant told she was running out of options and talked her into ECT. She signed the approval papers and there was nothing i could to retract it ,as she had been committed. No one knew she was allergic to the anaesthetic used prior to the ECT, so in effect she was going into anaphylactic shock prior to the electrical stimulation of the brain. They wondered why they were having difficulty trying to resuscitate her and she had to be bagged on three separate occasions in order to resuscitate her. When they eventually referred her to an allergist and discovered how serious the allergy was, it was basically too late. She had suffered major memory loss both short term and some long term. Why we are still using this antiquated treatment beats me. You are fortunate in being able to benefit from the most recent advances in medicine - I hope and pray that the results will deliver a long lasting recovery for you.
I am hoping to take legal action against Eli Lilly. It would probably benefit you as well as you could recover the costs of your treatment as well as damages for the limitations it has put on your working life. No one should suffer the way patients on Cymbalta have been made to suffer whilst trying to return to a normal way of life.

I am so very sorry for what has happened to you and your family. Best of luck to you and yours and you will be in my prayers. Does anyone know if there is any talk of a class action suit against Eli Lilly? What all of us on here have endured is not right.

Interesting, because I also had TMS prior to getting off of cymbalta. On the one hand, I don't feel depressed or very anxious any more, on the other hand I'm dizzy every single day, can't think at all, and have throbbing headaches. I can't tell if it's the TMS or the cymbalta, or both, but it's been 8 weeks since my last dose of cymbalta, and 4 weeks since my last TMS treatment, and I wish I had never done either of these treatments.
I dream for the day when my old anxiety and depression will return, and I can kiss this awful western medicine goodbye forever. From my expereince, all this stuff does is mask your problems with new problems. The only accepable way to avoid depression and anxiety for me is to remove myself from the situation causing these symptoms, meditate, and exercise alot.
