I think I'm past the Eff-XR withdrawal. It was very flu'ish.
What differences did your doc or you think there might be in Cymbalta, that you chose to try it?
Or RU doing this just as a means of getting away from Effexor-XR; don't think so as I understand.
I have a lot of anxiety. It's increased because doc 'teasing' taking Valium away from me, ya' know titrating me down, telling me he doesn't like benzos (Its not for him! Duh!) and just generally overlooking 'anxiety' as my most prominent life threatening problem. Agoraphobic to the max!
I'm glad you're okay and sounds u did well w/ the withdrawal.
I think sometimes people can actually see things in us that we can't, so maybe ur better but it just hasn't smacked you in the face yet.
My PCP has always wanted me to try Cymbalta re: the commercial, as I have a c-spine injury, but I've been Effexor-XR'd out (five times) and don't respond anymore to anything but large doses of it, which I don't want in my body at any cost.
I'd like it if you'd let me know how you're doing.
I'm trying Lexapro. Just sorta had to pick an AD outta' the hat, and this is one I don't recall taking. That doesn't mean I haven't! Not yet started.
takecare,tks, cf
