    interesting you mention cymbalta as poison, I was kind of baffled by this I am on it but my doctor cut me to 1/3 of the dose. I notice withdrawls but I just got off a couple other ones and thought it was that.

     

    Very Interesting

    Well lets see, I have been off cymbalta for over a year now and I am still messed up. Whats up with that. Panic attacks, depression, no sex drive. I just started taking 5-htp though, seems to be helping.

    I am taking 5-HTP right now. It is helping with my tinnitus which I believe was caused by the cymbalta. Stuff really messed me up. I might have to resort to Xanax which is what a lot of tinnitus sufferers use. Good luck with the CBT. I really hear good things about it.

    Frown   i  will  try  to  keep  you  up   to  date with  my  process i'm  now  taking 4 & a half  mg. of xanax . i'm  hoping  that  if  i  can  resolve some  of  my  issues  in  therpy it will  help  me  with  my  panic  attacks . i suffer  from  alot  of  guilt for  things  i've  done  past & present . and, when i lost  my  mother  that's  when  things  really  got  bad   for  me  . started only with panic once in a while it since in the past 5 yrs. has turned  into what i've read  to  be  panic disorder. as i sometimes suffer which  feels  like  it's  non stop 24/7 . i used to have to run out of  the  house it got so bad & i'd be crying & feeling  so  alone & nobody was going help me . i was  forced to  get  my  meds  from  my  md  who  has  done  wonders  trying  to  help  me . he  atleast has a heart when he see's me  suffering so bad with the panic . money is a big issue & again that is my fault that i put us in such debt . that even with insurance we still  have  to  pay 50 per cent of the allowable  amount which is really hard now . i no longer work i get a disabillty check . and have to rely on my husband's insurance . and it's really  hard  trying  to  find  a  therapist that even acceps insurance . this  all  adds  to  my  stress  but,  i  know  things have to  change . because this  is  no  way to live  not that  i'm  complaining there's  people alot worse off then me at least i have a roof  over  my  head & food  on  table  god bless  my  husband cause, without him i just  don't know  what  would become of me . i have alot of issues  with my sons 40 & 45 that put all of  the  burden on my poor husband . it's  just  not  right & really  hurts  me  after all  i  did  bring them into this so called world . thanks for being there silverfox46

    It is the worst medicine I have ever ever taken.  The side effects and withdrawals were horrific., I even called the FDA.  It is pure poison!!!  How it helps some people is beyond me.  I agree every time I see the advertisement on TV., it makes me cringe!!!
