My shrink px it for me too. He is very good and said he was addressing my PTSD with it. I think it helped a lot. I hadn't become diabetic yet so that wasn't a factor for me. It would be now. I'm not on any meds now. I'm in wait and see mode about how much I need meds vs just finding financial security and balance and getting more social and emotional needs met first. But at one point in my life it gave me peace I wouldn't have without it.

Yep. Could not take it. It made me so angry. I woke up in a rage and was always looking for an argument. I hated myself and everyone else.

I used Pristiq and it worked well for me. Now I just use trazodone for sleeping.

You will have to try it to see if it works for you.

I love my cymbalta! I take 60mg in the AM and then again in the PM. I can tell when I miss a dosage. I take it with Paxil and Geodon. For me, the combo of pills works great. Itstaken many years to find the right combo and dosage. I say give anything a try that they suggest. But you have to be on any med for a few weeks to really tell how it will work for you. (unless you feel suicidal, then contact your dr asap). You cant base another persons experience on how something will react in your own body.

I know depression seems to run in my family, including myself now. I've heard a lot about it but don't know what to say about it since I am not currently any medications yet. Reconsidering changing my mind on the whole "anti-medication" crusade.
