Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What does one consider a breakdown? I don't mean to be ignorant but does that mean more depression? That's a risk when changing antidepressants. It's on the label. They don't work for everyone- I hope you both find one that works better for you. I'm sure it was frightening.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 i have had depression before all my diagnosis it just added to it. I also have complex regional pain syndrome and psoriasis so all those added into one major breakdown. I havent really been given an official diagnosis of bipolar, but i have a mother, grandmother and two kids with it.. I also trained as a mental health advocate so im pretty accustomed to mental health issues. Jolene In a message dated 4/16/2008 3:31:14 P.M.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes that's what i take it for my complex regional pain syndrome along with another antieleptic for that as well. They are finding that anti eleptic meds and antidepressants work well for nerve pain as well. Jolene In a message dated 4/16/2008 4:38:33 P.M.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I am really sorry you had a breakdown while on Cymbalta. Finding the right medication, especially anti-depressants, can be very tricky. I am convinced Cymblata saved my life. I was on Effexor XR for the longest time and then after I had gastric bypass surgery it stopped working. I played the anti-depressant game for a few months and went into a SEVERE depression..... My doctor prescribed Cymbalta and honest to goodness.... I felt even better than I did on the Effexor XR. If this ever stops working... I am soooo scrwed!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I hate antidepressants too! I wish those were not the basic things used to treat FMS. I take Effexor XR but if I accidentally miss a dose, I can tell the next day. My emotions are haywire, small things set me off into anger and tears and scary thoughts. I'm now super careful to not miss the dose. I'm supposed to be taking 2 a day, but I never upped it, I kept it at the one pill a day. This may be why my anxiety is still out of control too, but I hate the effects! leigh hunt <meeeeeelee@...> wrote: I would love to find a class action lawsuit against Cymbalta.........I know some people probably are helped by the drug, but it was a terrible experience for me.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi, I wanted to add my 2 bits in here. My husband grew up with and alcoholic father and manipulative mother. He was a recovering alcoholic when I met him. I did not know this until 3 or more years later. Anyway he would go thru huge long periods of black depressed moods. He would go to counseling and fool the Dr with his charm and all was well and I was " nuts " . Finally I came to my wits e nd told him to get on meds or I was leaving. He talked to his Dr. she gave him cymbalta. It helped him mentally and a wonderful side effect was no RA pain!!!!! Hugs, Jan S NEW E-MAIL ADDY sweetprairie1@...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 That's why I think these meds should be prescribed by a psychiatrist or PMHNP. Also, when discontinuing these medications, they shouldn't be stopped cold turkey but tapered off slowly. Abby In a message dated 4/16/2008 2:52:57 P.M.
