Yes, difficult imagine. but very good to hear you and your doctor found a way that works and continues to work. In withdrawal from Effexor I found the worst to be a sense of disorientation. And thank you for encouragement for Cymbalta; however, the second day of taking it was extremely unpleasant, and I knew from experience to stop, but it seems to remain in one's system for awhile – today and yesterday have been somewhat difficult; hoping for better tomorrow.

The first two weeks on Cymbalta were the hardest for me, but as I’ve stayed on it most of the side effects have subsided by week 4. I’m going up this week so hopefully they do not return. I hope you find a medication that works well for you. There are so many new ones now.
