Called the doc. Said the headaches needed a lot of advil. Being at work is like being car sick with nausea. Told her my depression is worse than before I started. Told her cymbalta feels like poison to me.
She said to lower the dose and go for another week. Seems pointless. I'm only on 8mg. She said maybe cymbalta is hitting all the right receptors but that since I am so screwed up it is going to feel miserable while things get rearranged. She also said to change my mindset and think of cymbalta as the magic one instead of poison. Yeah right. Look, a med works or it doesn't, regardless of your attitude about it.
She seems to ignore me when I say anything norepinephrine makes me feel like crap. She seemed to ignore that I am feeling a lot worse.
Disappointed and hopeless at this point.
