I see the p-doc Friday (you? the anarcho-libertarian non-compliant? yes-me).
Cymbalta takes away pain, yes? Or is Lexapro better as an anti-depressant. I took cymbalta once and it didn't make me manic, but it did make everything more vivid, which was scary.
Cymbalta with the tegretol?

This only you can decide. The last time I took Lexapro, it caused me to rapid cycle. Cymbalta worked well and DID help pain but cause my blood pressure to skyrocket. Sometimes the only way to know is to try it and see where it takes you......best of luck with it....xo

I have to agree with shelly on this one. It's hard to know how a drug will effect you until you try it. Sorry I couldn't be of more use than that. :(

I am on a lot of cymbalta and I don't have any side effects. It really helps with depression and anxiety. I highly recommend it. I am one of the lucky ones. I take it with Abilify, Topamax, and Cogentin. It's a cocktail that seems to work very well with me....at LAST!!

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
