Anxiety Support Group

HI,
I have been coming off of Cymbalta since Aug 31, and was put on it for anxiety/dep. Well it turned into a real nightmare for me, and ended up causing me so much more anxiety, what I thought was untreatable depression, nightmares, sweating, andominal pain, crapming, and much more.

It is the anxiety that for me is the hardest to deal with.I have taken Xanax 1 per day for many years, and it has always helped me,, but right now it just does not seem to be helping me as much.

No it's not that I need more, it is due to coming off the Cymbalat, and is listed now by the FDA as one of the side effect, and also withdrawl symptoms.I am allowed to take the anxiety med 4 times a day, but I don't want to get hooked on that, so I just take one per day.

I am trying to reach out, and call people as all I have done is this as a way of getting help. I know I need real friends in my life to walk with me through this too, but it's so very
hard to do so.

Just feels like I am going out of my ming, and coming out of my skin right now.

I know it passes, but when your in it , it sure doesn't feel like it will ever go away.

This is day 4 of it beinjg this bad, I just want it to be over with.

Debbie
