I've been through a few months of medication nightmares after one of my meds, prozac, stopped working (on it for 3 years); going from selegiline to ensam patch and just started cymbalta due to side effects on the other meds, my body and mind are ready to give up. I feel like a rubber band whose elasticity has gone.
Can you help? What do I do if starting dose of Cymbalta (duloxetine) - 20 mg - seems too strong but the med may hold promise; (therfore, I think I shouldn't cut and run so quickly, but have too much anxiety)?? The delayed release time capsules cannot be cut, split or poured into a liquid.
Should I take an ativan and try to stick it out at the 20 mg dose? I know I need to give this med a fair trial, like I did with the others, but every side effect, even if it is "mild" and temporary, scares me into wanting to quit before I give the med a chance. I'm just sick of all this turmoil.
Thanks for any help.
