help-need advise/withdrawl of lexapro + wellbutrin

Posted by Mellymel_d on March 16, 2008, at 19:53:32

I'm on 300xl of wellbutrin and 20mg lexagro and have been successful for about 2 1/2+ years but recently started having burnout on both and the depression has been very bad and the anxiety is lingering as well. Anyway, I have other health issues and the dr's would like me to change from the well/lex combo to now Cymbalta (I think 60mg) He told me to cut down to half of each med and then slowly start taking them only every other day- once I've done that for a few weeks then we'll stop them both and start cymbalta. Well today is day of just cutting back and I'm miserable, flu like, tired, moody & lots of tingling, espescially in my lips and hands. And of course as most of you with anxiety know, I immediatly started thinking it wasnt withdrawls, I was just going crazy and/or dying and nobody else knows but me. It's an awful feeling. SOOOOO- I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on when I should tkae the cymbalta and how much longer will this torture last. I swear my family must really think I'm crazy and I'm usually so much more in control of things but with this, I have NO control. It makes things so much worse cuz I'm already dealing with my scleroderma being active for the last years now this. I worry that I'm just falling more and more into a crap hole. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I've always found such great support in this board.

Thanks, Mel
