Ok, I think it's a lot easier for people to help other people if we know what were diagnosed with. It has taken me a long time to actually see a pdoc, about two years, and just started going about a month ago. I always knew I had anxiety and ocd, but I had no idea my depression was so bad until I went to see him. A couple weeks went by and I felt like I was getting worse. He had me fill out some tests to see how I scored as far as my level of depression and axiety were. I scored a 48 and he told me that he likes to see it somewhere around 10. He said I have a lot to work with. So basically I'm telling you fellow babblers out there I have really really bad depression and anxiety. So when others tell me about cymbalta I'd like to know what their case is so I'm kinda on the same level. Or just say what your condition is.
UPDATE ON CYMBALTA: I've taken Cymbalta 30mg for about a week now, and I seriously feel pretty good. I feel like I have a bit more energy, like I can do my job a little bit better, and just feeling sorta good about myself. I know I'm where I'd like to be/feel. Who know's if that is even possible. As far as side effects go, I haven't really had any bad ones(knock on wood), basically I've been thirsty, sick to my stomach and today I started having a really bad headache. One odd ball thing to throw in there, I diagnosed myself as having carpal tunnel. I wake up every morning with my hands being super stiff and a little puffy. Ok, that's fine, except today I've been having what feels like a rush of cold and wetness to the palm of my hand. When it started I kept looking/feeling my hand to see what I had on it, but there was nothing. Any ideas out there as to what that could be?
Sincerely,Frankie
