Just an update, after my appointment with Dr CattleProd today. Since I'm having a partial response to Cymbalta -- the only thing that hasn't improved is my depression, go figure -- we're raising the dose to 90mgs. I'm frustrated beyond belief, because I am not particularly optimistic about this being the answer, but I'm certainly motivated enough to be compliant. Besides, I'm scared of losing any benefits from it and having to face adjustment phase difficulties with any other drug.
The plan is to take 60mgs AM and 30mgs at lunch. (I didn't mention that lunch for me happens around 5PM or so...)
(Speaking of which, we did talk about eating. He offered to prescribe a drug to put weight on me, but that doesn't address the problem, it just puts weight on me. I don't know if he added "307.50" to my list of diagnostic codes or not, but this is the VERY FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO BE HONEST WITH A PSYCHIATRIST ABOUT THIS. Pat my head and give me a lollipop.)
There, update done.
