> I can understand your concerns about Cymbalta. I know lots of people who go through the worst withdrawal and brain zaps trying to go off of Cymbalta. What does your pdoc say about going up on the Parnate.

So, I had to go down to 20 mg. Now I will try to go up to 30 mg. We shall see. This medication thing can be so frustrating for me.

I hear you about the frustration. I spoke to my pdoc today and as my BP is registering in the normal range, we're going to try an increase to 50 mg. If I don't have any partial response to it, it's back to the drawing board..he mentioned revisiting some of the meds I had success with before. I am feeling a bit cynical about that, as I may hit upon one that works again...but what about the poop out that always happens...

I don't know if I should just give up on Parnate and start the process of coming off it and get it over with or try another two weeks with it. If it doesn't work, it'll just take that much longer to titrate off it. Man, I feel caught between a rock and a hard place.
