Gosh I hope so! I'm very irritable, restless and in pain today. I just talked to my dr. and he said I may have to increase my cymbalta and then decrease it slower. See I have Anxiety/depression, bipolar, fibromyalgia, diabetes, severe degenerative arthritis and 2 herniated disc in my back. Not to mention ADD, which I just started on the DeXedrine for about 3 weeks ago. It helped me so much until I started having the vision problems and headaches. Now after backing off the cymbalta (cut my dose 1/2 by 60 mg) I'm fighting the withdrawals. And yes, I have 3 grown children who sometimes bring on more stress than my 9 year old, who also has ADD and bipolar. I'm really stressing today so thanks for your encouragement. I had to cancel my dental appt today because I just feel I could handle driving. Hopefully, this will get better soon but it seems to be getting worse. I know I won't be able to come off the antidepressants completely because of my diagnosis' but I don't want to be on any more medicine than I have to be. Thanks again for being a support, I really need that right now.
