If not, I'd be glad to just wait out all of this right now. Maybe I will need to go to 60mg of Cymbalta eventually. But, the negative feelings I'm being hit with these days seem to be more anxiety than depression. I understand the reluctance to start anyone on a benzo, but I've had some really, really bad days recently and I don't think the pdoc really understands how bad they've been.

> dmlYou lucky dog. Going to Vermont. I did the 3 day 100 there last year (horses only) and loved the area. Say hi to the Rojecks for me. Donna from Altoona, Fl.
I was more afraid to take a benzo than my pdoc was to prescribe it to me. I was afraid I would get addicted because of my past history. But not so, just take them as prescribed. Anymore than that puts me in a place that feels non-therapeutic.
i have managed to pull a hip flexor muscle that is now bothering me even to walk. don't feel it at the time but I do the next day. I can tell how much it helps my mental health to run when I am not able to, even though it is nothing compared to you guys. At least it doesn't bother me to ride. Or I would truly lose my mind.donna
