Thank you Colleen for showing me this thread! I took my 20mg of Cymbalta and I already feel a bit better. And you hit the nail on the head with getting through the next few days. The stress of being a college student and missing classes is definitely adding onto my anxiety but I’m trying everyday to work through this!

I am glad you reached out to the group. It is scary to feel the way you do. Do you have a good support group of family and friends? I have been taking cymbalta for many years with zero side effects. It has been a good drug for me, helping with depression and pain associated with an autoimmune disease.
I hope it will help you. It sounds like you have been on so many different medications. I have also throughout the years. I started Welbutrin a year ago and it has made a difference for me. Less anxiety, less OCD, less depression and becoming able to not “sweat the small stuff”. Based on experience it can take awhile to find the right drug cocktail. I hope you can do so and feel better. Take care.
