Hi - I’m thinking of you and are glad you’re reaching out to people who have experience with Cymbalta, as doing so helps relieve some of the additional anxiety created with medicine changes. I am afraid I don’t have experience with Cymbalta; a neurologist once prescribed it, but I decided I couldn’t risk taking it because of balance issues I have and not being able to handle the side effects. But countless number of people here take it and talk about it being so very helpful for them, that I wish I was able to take it. I hope they chime in soon to help provide you some reassurance. I know you can’t enjoy feeling reluctant to go out, especially being a student and having endless opportunities ahead of you. I am rooting for you and hoping you get the right medicine amounts soon!
