Hi All,
I've been on Cymbalta 30 mg for about 4 weeks now...I'm doing well but last night I experienced an odd symptom of my anxiety I haven't felt in a loooooooooooooooooooooong time.

It lasted a few minutes but the experience has lingered with me. I do believe I was dealing with derealization but I'm not quite sure. Has anyone else suffered this? What do you do?

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Anxiety is natural. Staying hydrated, gentle movements, and "in the moment" thinking will help reduce the physical sensations naturally fast.
Best wishes.
