Q: Cymbalta (new And I Love It!)

Hey you guys! i'm Nichole and I'm 18 years old. I was diagnosed with (extreme) Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia at the age of 13. I've been doing alot of trial and error with medications that just weren't working for me. Recently, I've been trying Cymbalta- a new antidepressant. For me to only be on ONE medicine is unreal and amazing. But, this pill did exactly what it promised. I feel better, not only mentally, but physically as well!!! I've always remembered since I was a wee one feeling the panicing, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, yearning for pain, hiding from people, eating disorders, chemical dependencies and overall feeling like I always have a heavy veil of sorrow on my back. But for the first time I literally breathe easier. javascript:emoticon('Very Happy')
Very Happy

I have experienced some weird side effects, but nothing that would stop me from taking it. This like increased sweating, loss of appetite, mild tremors, and constipation.

If you can, and you need a new anti-depressants., ask your doctor about cymbalta.

Hi, I read your post and was wondering how you are doing with the Cymbalta? I just started it today. I have the same feelings, I love the way you said the veil of sorrow that is always with you. I am older than you by al ot, but I know that feeling, I have always said I was just a very Dark, goth person, extreme Scorpio. Aparently Im kind of depressed, and anxious.
