Hello,
I am new to this forum. Cymbalta is
wreaking havoc with my life. Depression is
worse. I can hardly stay awake, I am a
zombie. My doctor wants me to stay with
it. It has been 15 days now. Does anyone
have experience with this? My doctor is
hard to communicate with.
Hoping,
Joel
Being on medications for 15 days is
probably not enough time to determine if
the medication works for you, which is
probably why your doctor wants you to stay
with it. It usually takes up to 4-6 weeks
before you'll see full effect of an
antidepressant.
On the other hand, if you really feel
adverse effects from the medication, try
explaining to your doctor and go with a
checklist of all your concerns/questions.
If you don't feel heard by your doctor, go
to a different doctor who you feel more
comfortable with. Humans are just like
puzzles, if your doctor doesn't suit
you/your needs, change doctors. Get a 2nd
opinion.
Hope you feel better.

Dear Rosalee,
Thank-you for your kind and thought ful
response to my questions.
You do not sound like a person who
suffers from depression.
