In reply to Re: Cymbalta withdrawal - Publicity Great summary, posted by Jaspar on May 28, 2006, at 9:28:34
After all this talk about not even starting, I feel weird asking this, but this is real life...
A friend of mine is considering starting on either Effexor or Cymbalta. He knows the possible withdrawal symptoms, but right now he has no life. He has tries a slew of SSRIs that gave hive horrible side-effects that you would expect from a neuroleptic - NOT from a mere SSRI. The doctor expects that an SSRI/Norepinephrine med may have the same effect, but not sure.
He cannot afford meds, and can only take ones are given away as freebies. Which of these two is the lesser of two evils?
He wants to know - which withdrawal is worse - Effexor or Cymbalta... so I am asking any of you who have suffered through withdrawal from both - which was worse?
And a question for those of you who are adamantly against taking anything... WHAT therapy is available to train/restructure the brain to eliminate a severe anxiety disorder? I guess I ought to take that question to another board...
