well, went to the doctor (a new one). he started me on Cymbalta. He actually takes 10mg of Paxil for ocd...which to have ocd about your job when you are a dr aint to bad. He says he reads and reads about these types of meds and we as drs are just now starting to know how to work them. Recall not too long ago Prozac was the main joke about creating killing zombies out of people. Now they have fine tuned it......Well just pop'd my first dose...lets see

Yes, I do. That is the main reason I take Lexapro. It was getting to the point where 2 weeks out of the month I felt really bad, headaches, joint pain, anxiety, mood swings, basically every symptom of really bad PMS. That then led to me starting to have mild anxiety on those good 2 weeks because I would dread the 2 weeks before my period. The Lexapro has totally rid me of the anxiety and the PMDD. So I am very thankful to be feeling well again.

Hey Evod, I am on 60 mg of cymbalta which has been a GODSEND for me. It has helped with depression from my son being murdered as well as with the anxiety. I also take oxycontin for horrible back pain and xanax for those dys when nothing else works. The cymbalta though has been a majior reason I am able to funtion these days. Good luck finding what is right for yo9u, Bruce

Hi! I am taking 120 mg of Cymbalta and .5 mg of Klonopin twice a day for depression, OCD, GAD, and Panic Disorder. My stress is so great right now that the Cymbalta is not working as I'd like. I guess we'll see what happens when I return to the dr in September. Good luck on your new meds!
