Cyclecrash,
I couldn't take SNRI's either. Too many bad reactions for me. Cymbalta was the worst! I ended up finding my happy combo with Remeron and Paxil. Paxil is a strong anxiety and depression reliever. I use Remeron to counteract the side effects of nausea. But also remember there are alternatives to AD's. CBT is an option if you don't like meds, and also there are natural alternatives, I can recall Mark being on L-Tryptophan, which works also. Good luck with the withdrawal, and best wishes!
