Not telling

Ive been on cymbalta for nine months and after about three weeks I started to feel better, more energized and I felt ,not really happy but in between, not depressed but not great but I had really good days.

Kaye, Aww, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Do you have an appointment with your psychiatrist anytime soon? Could be the @@ [[treatment:@Cymbalta:57ad1b3eff29501e1d000ab6]] isn't working or you may need a mood stabilizer like @@ [[treatment:@Lamictal:57ae08c8ff29503f850004e8]].

Yes, it usually does, but it started helping me within three days. My son is a psych nurse and said it sometimes does. Everyone is different. I didn't have any side effects at all. Hopefully you will get used to it and start feeling better. ♥️

I’m pretty good as long as the pharmacy fills my Effexor! Still recovering from last weeks withdraw. ( pharmacy’s fault) I still have a little nausea and headaches, sweats ok everything but not as mixed up. Slowly but surely I’ll be back on track lol

@A MyDepressionTeam Member I feel fine with the Effexor xr. With the lamictal, I’m not sure how I feel. No appetite, tired, more head aches on 100mg but they say it takes a while to build up a level to make you feel better?

How are you feeling on it @A MyDepressionTeam Member? Effexor made me tired and didn't work but everyone is different!
