I started with anxiety and have now gone to depression. I am now on Cymbalta and have been having ringing of the ears or tinnitus for quite awhile. the only reason I stay on it is because it has helped the depression. But the ringing of the ears and tiredness is getting to me. The doctor mentioned s...

I was wondering if it is too late to join the depression circle also??

Does anyone find it hard to keep or make friends with the anxiety/depression stuff going on?

Anyone els...

Has anyone experienced titinitus or ringing of the ears with their meds? I am with Cymbalta. Has anyone heard of this? And if yes, does it go away with time? I have been on this med. for 4 days now and it seems to be getting worse. Any thoughts?? Thank you in advance!

From what I have been reading and listening to so far ( I am on session 3 only) most thoughts aren't real they are imagined. But with my thoughts they are real. We are creating pollution which leads to worries of my childrens future and what they are going to be breathing in. So now I am seeing myse...

I am so happy for you! As monty'smom said, it gives me hope that I can see the light like you have. It is nice to see the program helping, sometimes I get doubts.

Have a great day and many more!
