Hello, I've been posting alot lately, as I've been having problems with my Dr. switching me to different meds for my anxiety. Well now I feel like the up and down has caused me to become depressed. I was not experiencing depression before, but with all these meds in and out of my system, now I feel like I have no energy at all, absent minded at work, very irritatble, eating tons of junk food, and have no interest in doing much of anything. Still anxious too,just for an added bonus.

I'm supposed to go and pick up Cymbalta but it's been sitting at the pharmacy for a week. I don't know how much longer I can ride this roller coaster. 4 different meds in 2 months and I feel way worse than before I started... hives, fatigue, body pain, weight gain, loss of interest in anything.... and now depression?

What would you do? Would you start the cymbalta? I can't decide if I should give my body a break, or try again to get help.

I'm happy to read that you were able to get
your prescription and start it.

Yeah, please let me know because I have been
taking a low dose of wellbutrin and feel very
irritated. I would like to try the Cymbalta.

Good Luck to you,
Annie
