I quit the Cymbalta. It made me nauseas EVERY time I took it. It also wasn't helping my depression/anxiety or pain. I recently ran out of Lyrica, but as of right now don't plan on continuing it. It helped at first, I think it's helped my body to continue gaining weight rapidly. I first got this "drunk" feeling when I started Lyrica, slept better, but withing a few weeks it went away. I wish I could say I had better experiences with these meds <3 This was my 2nd cymbalta attempt... no more!

My mind has been screwy before those meds though
