The idea of taking what my new pdoc called "Effexor Junior" was right up there with the idea of having a prefrontal lobotomy.
You're too funny!!> Chemist was an absolute rock for me, and helped get me through the worst of it, and I'm still giving it a chance to do something for me. (NB: Effexor didn't do it for me, either, until Prozac was added. Even then, it was partial remission, and didn't last long.) Sometimes the worry is pretty overwhelming, and it does help to get support. At least, it helped me.
Effexor didn't do much for me either. I know what you mean about needing support to go through these things. It gets harder and harder to believe that something is really going to work for you. But we keep trying...
> As for Cymbalta, it doesn't seem to have the same short half life that makes Effexor such a problem. My guess is that you'll do fine with once or twice a day dosing, and won't have to try to break up the capsules. Try it before you worry too much, 'K?

> Hope that helps.Yeah, that does help. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Cymbalta kicks in for you soon (and that it works for me too of course)!
