Day 1 on Cymbalta
took first dose of 60mg Cymbalta 12 hours ago...it is now 7.15pm and have been ok all day...still really depressed and negative, but no side effects so far....although am not feeling withdrawal from pristiq today, so that is good.........now I am feeling even more depressed and feel like I want to cry or scream....maybe the first dose of the cymbaltawearing off? I dont know, maybe I need some seroquel to knock me out so I cant feel...but kids are still awake so will have to wait a few more hours....could not live without my seroquel to help me sleep.

I know what you mean about the meds...doctors can\'t always get the meds right on the first try...and that sucks. I know that when I just changed meds recently...I felt like I wanted to blow my brains out...but could never do that because I have a child (well and adult child) and my husband to think about, I have insomnia so bad on a regular basis that I usually have to take a handful of pills just to make me tired enough to sleep (usually a mix of \"dramamine\" (what we in canada call \"gravol\"... otherwise known as diphenhydromine), a muscle relaxant, a valium or two (depending on how bad the insomnia is), along with my antidepressant (Wellbutrin), and my blood pressure pill. I have to time it just so that it will make me sleepy enough to knock myself out as soon as my husband suggests going go bed.
