I'm sick of feeling bad, and I'm quitting antidepressants today. I suffer from social anxiety and I'm on Cymbalta, my fifth drug in about 3 months. Since my doctor and I started looking for the "right drug" for me, I've suffered from severe hives, stomach pains, and SEVERE urinary retention. I get up 6-7 times per night to urinate. I haven't slept through the night in months. I'm such a zombie, my fiance said I got up last night to pee twice in a half hour, and I didn't even realize it. I cannot empty my bladder and it's painful and frustrating. Not only that, but I've seen no real improvement with any of these pills. I feel more self-conscious than ever, and I feel ugly and fat. I get hives outbreaks 3-4 times a day that itch like crazy. That's why I've been on 5 different drugs, to try to find one that won't cause hives, but they all do.
These side effects and not worth it. I've never felt worse about myself. The last drug I took before Cymbalta was Paxil and my doctor said it was okay to quit that cold turkey, so that's what I'm going to do with this one. I took my LAST pill today.
I'm going to have to manage this anxiety on my own.

Well, I hope I'm not, but I have read in many different places that light bleeding is a symptom of early pregnancy due to implantation.

Thank you for your kind words... I feel so much better today! I don't have much of an appetite, but other than that, I feel great. I have to make up some time at work because I left early yesterday, so I'm working hard and feeling alot more productive.
