    To feel I'm not alone in this hell of antidepressants. Seeing others are having the same symptoms helps me to make it through each day. Hopefully my story will in turn help someone else.

How are you feeling today? Any better?

Thanks for asking Madison - Sorry I didn't get back on last week. It was a really bad week. The weekend wasn't much better. Today I am extremely tired but am trying to focus on my husband and kids every time it gets to me. So, I guess my answer would be I am not much better today.

Oh, dear Raven,

 

So sorry that this continues - I just hope that Max is helping to cheer you up! ;)

Yes, Liz, having Max here has been a great help. In the comic relief department. The girls at work love him although it did take them time to get used to him. I love that he just sleeps under my desk while I am at work.

Well...I am back. This is the absolute worst feeling. I absolutely despise all these horrible drugs😬

I wish I had never taken the Paxil to begin with. I don't blame my doctor because I asked for something to take. My system just can't handle these anxiety & depression drugs. I am weak and felt I needed help when if I had waited just a little longer I would have been completely past this nightmare with Cymbalta.

I let stress and anxiety get to me and it has interfered in more than one part of my life. I am so mad at myself because I don't feel like doing anything. There is tons of stuff I need to do but I don't want to do it. I know it needs to be done. I plan out how to do it and then I am like "Meh I don't wanna"😢

Boy, can I understand that feeling. The Cymbalta withdrawal ( and also Paxil) is so difficult for so many and the symptoms wear on you for so long you just need some relief. Any relief. There is no shame needing something to help you deal with th effects of Cymbalta withdrawal. How long were you on the Paxil, Raven, and what was the maximum dose you took?

About 3 or 4 months 40mg I think.

Well, just my opinion but this should be a little lighter than the Cymbalta withdrawal but basically you will start all over. However slow you went last time go even slower. Be kind to yourself. You don't have many meds to fall back on for help so you will simply have to be really patient.  God bless and hang in there.

Thanks FH. I am trying to be patient but it isn't easy. I hurt all over sometimes and I am so overweight I cannot even bear to look at myself. I don't eat much and when I do want to stress eat I can't because looking at food makes me sick.😝

I am so sorry, Raven.  You are in my prayers

 

I am in so much pain and do not have another test until tomorrow...the pain pills are too much as I can't think straight.

 

God help us both
