Hey I hav not posted in a long time. I have had a major melt down that I call it. It started thursday last week. Had to call the hubby home from work cause I thought I was going to into the pward. But the doc did call and say hey take your reg meds wich are xanax 1mg as needed 20mg of lexapro ambieon 12.5 xr and then a regular ambieon 10 mg up he did up the xanax 1 mg twice daily until I could get in and see him. So I did he kept me on all the meds I was takeing buy he added Cymbalta30mg and 350 mgs of Soma and I want to get off the xanax but man at night I hate takeing all of thses drugs.
I work part time in a small office I am sure my coworkers are very up set with me. But right now I need to take care of my self I have a leave of from March 8th unlit april second . I hope I can do this. I am driveing my self crazy trying to stay away thses pills make me really sleepy so I just want to sleep all day. and I work a day Job. Okay My question is does anyone that is surviving from anxiety has Cymbalta helped them? I feel like I am in a deep deepression wich I never had. I dont want to get out of bed. hardly know what day it is just in one big fog.. Thank god for the xanax it makes me feel a little normal for a bit. Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

I had such bad, bad anxiety and depression that it got to the point that I was barely able to function. While in the hospital, my doctor put me on 120 mg of Cymbalta and other drugs. The cymbalta has helped me greatly, especially with the body aches I get from depression. I also take seroquel which is a non additctive anti-psychotic that in small doses is used for anxiety.

More or less, cymbalta really, really worked for me.

I hope you do get what you need. The right meds are out there. It just sucks trying to find it them.

Be well,

Thanks, Stressed Teacher I could use some words of encourgement. I was pretty out of it when I strarted the thread.
I guess I just have to give it some time and wait and see how it goes. I go see the pdoc the end of March hopefully things will get better. I know it doesn't work miracales(sp) right away. Take Care and thanks for the input!



Peace
