Hi there!
I went to my dr on Friday and she switched me to Cymbalta. I asked her for Wellbutrin but she said that it would send me through the roof! She said it is fantastic, but not for people with anxiety issues. Bummer. But that is all i needed to hear, my roof does not need any holes! ha!
Anyway, she said that all of the SSRIs would likely cause sexual difficulties for me so she said we would try Cymbalta next. She did not seem real convinced that it would not have the same result, but she says that is what they say. She did not have enough experience with it to tell me for sure. My sister takes it for her facial pain and anxiety and loves it. She did have nasuea at first though. Dr. has me taking a low dose of Zoloft to wean off as I start a low dose of the Cymbalta. So tonight is day 1. I am praying I am not up in the middle of the night sick from it!
I also wanted to add that I cannot believe how many people that I am friends with that take AD!!!!! I guess it is this unspoken topic that women do not want to talk about or admit. But since I have been fairly candid with close friends I have been shocked by how many moms like myself are also taking something. It has made me feel so much better to know that other people feel like I do! I also think it has made them feel better knowing they can talk to me about it too.
Anywho! I will let you all know how the Cymbalta goes!!!!! Thanks for all of your wonderful feedback and support.
