The last time we heard, SudoBlue was going off of Cymbalta and Arvielle was having serious trouble with food poisoning.

Just wondering how that was going.

Hello, thanks for asking!

I've been meaning to get around to coming back here for an update anyways, just have been super busy with work.

So, my time off Cymbalta has been pretty good. Every now and then I will get headaches or whooziness, but nothing I can't deal with. Taking a nap seems to really help when I get the headaches.

Other side effects I get sometimes are hot/cold flashes, irritability, and muscle fatigue. The good days are outnumbering the bad days now at least, and even the bad days are not as bad as they used to be. I try to pace myself and take breaks when I can.

Really good to hear from you.

You don't know how trying that can be, to hear of someone in a potential difficult situation, and then you don't hear from them. Probably like a parent waiting up for their child who is past curfew: "Where are they???" It's the not knowing that can get to you.

In some of your explanations, you seemed strong enough to deal with that. And it seemed like the right time, you missed a dose. And you weren't really depressed.

But then, the question seeps in, maybe she's not depressed because she's taking an anti-depressant. A curveball. What is going to happen?

Are you still going to see your psychiatrist?

Sounds like you're doing pretty good. This is good news.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. You are, the person.

Yes, I do plan on scheduling an apt with my doctor soon. It was actually my Rheumatologist who prescribed me Cymbalta and my primary doctor who had me on Zoloft. I haven't yet told them but will be making a call very soon.

The only thing that really bothers me is the slight memory loss, which I am hoping will pass with time.

Thank you for your support 🙂

It looks like Zoloft and Cymbalta both treat depression, with Cymbalta treating anxiety, also.

So, how is your depression and anxiety?

Do you think it would be better to see a psychiatrist?

Or, are you more comfortable with your primary doctor and your Rheumatologist?

We did hear from SudoBlue who was going off of Cymbalta.

But we haven't heard from Arvielle who was having serious trouble with food poisoning.

Hope both of ya'll are doing well.
