Hello laima,
I understand what blueberry is saying, because I also use to have initial mood boosts and then crashes, as soon as I start ADs. It's AWFUL, and I have many times strong suicidal tendencies in the beginning. I'm also sick of that effect and it's happening (again) right now with me, on Tianeptine.
As posted above by Quintal, I also believe he should try to add something (benzo is the easyest and fastest) to make the initial period "livable", instead of giving up soon on a drug.
My post was only about trying to encourage him to be positive about the drug, and about how long it takes for a cure (not an improvement) to happen.

> I feel like I am not on the same page as most people here? I am understanding Blueberry saying that cymbalta is making her feel markedly WORSE, not same, not dissapointed that it's not more effective, not impatient that it's not working fast enough or not well enough, or even not at all, but a "PLUNGE". Ie, a paradoxical effect. That doesn't sound good at all. I recall, she had a somewhat paradoxical effect with adderall, too. A lot of people report mood boost with adderall- witness remedyfind- Blueberry got a severe drop. Do I recall Blueberry, that a benzo, xanax was it, made you feel socially livlier? Or I might have that last example mixed up with someone else.
