I have been taking Cymbalta for a couple of years now. The past year I've been on 60mg. I want to have a baby so I'm trying to slowly wean off. I tried alternating 60mg and 30mg days, but it felt like too much of a jump. Then I tried doing 60, 60, 30, but still felt funky. Then I found a website whe...

One of my greatest fears from my anxiety is having a heart attack. All my anxiety and panic attacks started when my dad died, so I can relate to what it's like to suddenly be aware of your own mortality. Funny thing is, my dad didn't die of a heart attack. I had to go to several doctors and numerous...

I was addicted to Xanax and I switched doctors. My new doctor had me switch from Xanax to Valium because it's "softer" and easier to wean off of. I basically had to taper down the Xanax while starting to take the Valium, very carefully. I can tell you that I remember having withdrawals from the Xana...

Is this depression? It hit me out of nowhere. I was driving home yesterday and I was fine. I heard a song that reminded me of my father who passed away, and I started crying. That's not abnormal for me, but I didn't stop, and even when I got home I just felt hopeless. I have had anxiety for several ...

I started having panic attacks several years ago. I dealt with my anxiety for 3 years before I got the program and then started on Cymbalta. For the past year and a half I have been GREAT! So happy I couldn't even explain it. Last Sunday I had a panic attack, and I hoped it would just come and go. M...

Thanks Theresa for this post. I have read that before when I started the program a couple years ago and it helped me then, but now I am back reading the Old Testament again so this really lifted me today. Thanks so much again. I think I should go back to the New Testament. God was really talking to ...
