> Why don't you try taking it a night along with xanax for a couple weeks? Have you ever taken fish oil caps? This might be a good add on too for you. If so, I'm sure you know to take one with a higher ratio of EPA to DHA. I take 3 1200mg of Nature Made Maimum strength twice a day. Research has suggested that those with more severe depression/anxiety and bipolar depressions benifit from higher doses. Like you said, try and stick it out. Too many people give up too fast and don't give it a try. I have read your post about your hyper-sensitivety to medications and hope your will find relief. Do you any form of exercise? Do something that will make you sweat, to get those endorphins flowing. This is a great anxiety buster.

Nightime dosing with xanax. Hmm. Not a bad idea.
I do take fish oil. Not enough though. I need to increase the dose. Only take 400mg epa 300mg dha. I have tried high doses before and it was either my imagination, a placebo effect, or it really did increase both anxiety and depression. Not sure.
Exercise. Yeah I get tons of that. I walk a very fast pace about 4 miles a day. Never break out in a sweat though. If I exercise too hard, I can reliably expect increased anxiety afterwards, followed by worse depression. That noradrenaline gets pumped up too much, and then it crashes and I get real depressed.
I'm going to do my best to stick it out. Taurine or xanax are on my list of anxiety managers. As long as cymbalta doesn't do something really bad, like severe balled up crying fits, outrageous agitation, I am going to do my best to keep at it.
