Leesa,
I was @ hospital getting my daughter a behavioral assessment when I posted response earlier...I tried cymbalta and it was not nice to me so now I am on Pristiq and valium....I think I need more since the stress level just went out the roof in last 48hrs!

I take Cymbalta and within a week I was feeling better. I'm on the maximum dose of 120mg per day. I take 60mg twice a day. It has really helped me alot. I have major depressive disorder (clinical depression) and I'll be on medication the rest of my life. I've been on medication for probably 30 years already. 
I hope and pray that your meds start working soon. In the meantime, try to stay busy. Do anything that will take your mind off of things. Listen to uplifting music. And post here -- we'll be here to help you. God bless and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee   |
