Ms. Dancing Star,
I totally agree...there is something very wrong on a simplistic level, that if we put something in our body and our body reacts telling us that it does not want it in it....yes Effexor is probably doing wonders for some people. I would certainly hope so, as I know there are millions still on it. Yeah, I do the Splenda thing to, in any icecream, homemade oatmeal cookies.....As I have high hopes for Cymbalta, I also have high hopes for loosing the weight I have gained though to most it is not noticable. But it is to me! I exercise everyday sometimes 2 plus hours when I have the time, eat the lowfat, almost veg diet and sorta low carb, I love pasta. But on the Effexor my weight would not budge and my cholesterol skyrocketed. My Psy doc added Remeron in July when I knew the Effexor was really not working. As the Cymbalta kicks in, I plan on ditching ther Remeron to (I hope), and maybe that will change my metabolism......my friends laugh and say it is just part of the aging process.....Well I am only in my mid forties and can't accept that. And yes thanks for the sleep wish. I fell asleep this afternoon as soon as I got back from church and my head hit the pillow....I love the mornings.....but 2:30 or 3:00 is just a little to early! Plus waking up every half hour or so. As I said before, being so exhausted, it's really hard to get a handle if the Cymbalta is having any positive impact yet. At least I am not having side effects. I hope when the Cymbalta kicks in I can get back to some normal dreams that make sense and maybe even starting dreaming about sex again!
