You might want to try taking the cymbalta at night. And even with a cracker or a piece of bread and butter. That might help with the upset stomach.

I started my cymbalta at night when I started taking it. And then went to twice a day. So you might want to try that and see if that helps the upset stomach.

Also not sure, but could you give the kitties the fish. Just a suggestion.
When it comes from meals on wheels. I would not eat the kale either. Or
what ever it was.

I wasn't depressed today. I wasn't happy or energetic but I wasn't depressed. I didn't feel close to God. When I am suffering I usually have no trouble feeling closer to God. I am trying. I wonder if the cymbalta is beginning to work. I think it is too soon. I ordered more ice cream and fruit. I watched federrer play tennis today and today was my last p.t. session. I might start again in Jan.

Cymbalta works at different paces for each person. I realize that
sounds odd. But I know for me it worked really fast. And its not
supposed to. SO I just took that gift and let it work for me.

I also know that at times, my pain would return for a little while.
Because with my fibromyalgia and other issues the cymbalta at that
point didn't always work. But it was still better than none.
Because at one point I ran out for a few days, and had no prescription
because I forgot to call and get it. And had to wait. And I saw the
difference. I never made that mistake again.

Please just take it easy, work with your bike as much as you can,
and try walking with your walker since there is no more pt.

I hope that they Cymbalta works for you.

thanks. I am not as depressed. I don't know if it is the cymbalta. I am not in a good mood and don't feel well.

I am sorry you are not in a good mood and are not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.

I got terrible nausea from the Abilify, and taking it at night really helped, but I woke up with it for a couple of days. No more nausea now.

You may be able to adjust to the nausea if your pdoc was adamant about you taking it in the morning tho.

Peanutbutter and graham crackers is a good snack to have, if that is something that appeals to you. You don't have to eat a lot. It would probably be a tasty breakfast snack with your morning coffee :)

I remember taking one med, I think it was Latuda, where I had to eat "X" number of calories with it... about 360... the same number of calories in a Twinkie, so that's what I ate it with every nigh ;).

I hope you start feeling better soon, Bobby :hug::hug::hug:

That is so funny!

I am depressed. Watching the funeral didn't help.

"Depression affects between one- and two-thirds of stroke survivors. It’s characterized by feelings of overarching sadness, lack of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed, or changes in eating and sleeping patterns."
I wonder if this is also where my sadness and depression are coming from.
