Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Have just been taking cymbalta for 11 days and blood pressure is up. Have anyone else had that experience. I stopped it afraid of having a stroke.
i had what is called " brain shocks" for weeks after stopping this medication... felt like electrical charges shooting inside my brain.... was out of work for a week and still felt the after effects for several weeks... this is one of the new antidepressants that affects 3 parts of your brain.... one part of my brain is affected enough already.. heheheh.... i will never take one of these new meds again.... they are not tested enough for me..... in fact i am off all medications now... i feel much better... for me, this is the best way...
to me it's a killer... just my opinion......
