Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm so sorry that happened Kami! I know its frustrating! I took Cymbalta for a couple of years and all of a sudden major mood swings, but mine were more suicidal ideation out of NOWHERE! I couldn't quit being sad..then my Effexor, I missed 2 doses of that when I had a really bad URI. First I snapped at people, then again major saddness. In my case though, I take 7mgs of Xanax a day for anxiety and it didn't help..but I know how awful it is when a medication causes our moods to go:) From: ~ Kami ~ <kamilleon@...> Subject: Re: [ ] INFO - MTX and mood Date: Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 9:19 AM Holy crap...
