Hi All, As I was reading through all of these posts, I realized that I may have to one day take another drug for my anxiety problem. I for one have no problem taking a med. that is going to help me live a happy and full life. I found that when I took prozac. When it wasn't working for me any longer I was put on Cym. also for pain. When I get off of the Cymbalta, I start to have anxiety again, I will find something that works but will be very careful about what it is and will do research on it.
Right now as I am withdrawing from Cym. I take a half a Xanex during the day and a half at night. It's amazing how much it is helping me. I'm believing that God has healed me. He has blessed me many times in my life and will never fail me.
As I used to be ashamed that I had to take drugs to help me through my life I am no longer feeling that way. This anxiety problem is generational in my family. I was the pioneer of it all by coming out of the closet with it, so to say. Not one of us wants to have these problems that kept us from fully living our lives. Not all drugs are like Cym.. There are good ones out there that don't have these horrible side effects. I pray for all of us and that we will all find our peace. Love you, Kim
