Still more depressed/maudlin than baseline. Stupid Paxil. down to 5mg daily; in two weeks it'll be 5mg/every other day, and then it'll be GONE FROM MY LIFE and I should really have a party

re: link - YES! i did. and thanked you effusively which may well have been eaten <3 it was great. re: Cymbalta - never taken it personally; have had friends who have taken it. reports have been mixedish tending toward good. (for the best reports of side effects check out Crazymeds.) Did they finally put you on something for your pain/baseline anxiety? Jesus fucking Christ it's about damn time.) Paxil is good for some people; it used to be good for me. Then I was seriously overdosed due to an idiot attending, proving that my insurance also covers total fucking idiots (between it and the Celexa, which is similar enough to be more or less chemically the same, I was taking 100mg/day and that was fucking me up HARDCORE. It's also the WORST SSRI to go off of: see Crazymeds for why. <3)
My doctor put me on Paxil once. Oh my God, what a horror show. I lasted two weeks. After that they tried Effexor and Wellbutrin, but it made my blood pressure skyrocket. My doctor kept telling me it was a rare side effect, as if I was doing it on purpose. Bitch. Anyway, they switched me to Cipralex and it's much better. No side effects.
What is your position/opinion on Cymbalta?
Edit: Also did you ever get that link I twitted you, with the dolphin?

No they haven't added anything yet, but I am going to ask next time I go b/c it isn't getting any better unfortunately.
Wow 100mg? Damn, that is a lot.
