Hello all,
I'm actually a psychiatric nurse and been on various drugs for post partum depression over the last 4 years since my 2 kids have been born.
I did not realize how potent Cymbalta is.... MY regular dose was 60mg then reduce to 30mg x 10day then nothing. I am however taking chinese medicine for cleansing.
Symptoms:
Nausea, vomitting, head fuzzy, dizziness, forgettfulness, lost my camcorder at the airport ect, no energy, no apetite, feeling like crap all the time, want to hide in the dark.
The psychiatrist I worked suggested this: Ativan 0.5mg qid and/or Effexor 37.5mg. However I don't want to wean off one drug and then have to wean off another.
I really feel like a junkie. When I was on it I would shake and have headache, nausea when I did not take my dose within 22 hours of the next.
I started taking the ativan but unfortunately it makes me sleepy.
anyother suggestions??
Prescribtion junkie
