Thank you for sharing your experience. I can relate to the horrible frustration of medications no longer working. It's hard to describe that disappointment. Just this morning my pdoc decided he's gonna take the approach of switching meds right when they poop out on me (cuz it seems to happen quick lately). We're trying Cymbalta next.
