Hi This is Suebird had to change my name but anyway my p-doc said he gave my cymbalta along enough try and he decided to stop the 90mgs of cymbalta and start me on 20 mgs of lexapro I just want the roll over to be postive this is my second day on the roll over and my body aches and I have a low grade fever and a headache if this is all I get I will be able to handle this. Im also on my 4th week of the starter pack of lamictal which is 50mgs and thats going pretty smooth so far and I continue to take my .5mgs of klonopin but hes talking about switching me valliumn when I go back to see him and a few weeks.Please can I have some postive feedback on ones that have done this type of roll over. Suebird

I just wanted to wish you all the best with your new med change. I hope it goes smoothly for you. I'm sorry that the Cymbalta didn't help you. :(

Hi Suebirds I guess the norepenephrine wasn't for you. As Cymbalta is both that and serotonin. So he put you back on strictly serotinin med. I hear it is very good. Can you let your doc know you feel really bad? Take tempeture could be you're really sick. did you go from 90 to 20 of lexapro could also be withdrawal. Let me know how it goes. Your friend Phillipa

Well I woke up w/ a slight panic attack but wasn't to bad I know I will probably will get a few with the change of meds its been three days since I have taken cymbalta and started the lexapro and its going to take a few weeks to balance out in my body so here goes the roller coaster ride of emotiond again. Just keep sending the postive thoughts.
Thank You Suebird

Phillipa, I started getting panic n 2001 never had one before that then I got severe anxiety which sets off depression because i didn't want to leave my house or my husband side I put on paxil and it worked well for 5 yrs then March of 2007 I had surgery and the paxil stopped working and ever since then i've been having a rough time and now I was told I have anxiety mood disorder and thats why he added lamictal and it has helped me alot and changing to lexapro.
