I get migraines sometimes, usually around the time I get my period. That's one of the reasons I was taking cymbalta. It did help, though.
Years ago I took zoloft, and when I came off that I never felt anything like this. It does make me wonder why they would give me this drug knowing we were trying to have a baby and that I'd have to come off it. I don't think anyone thought we'd ever get pregnant; so they probably figured what the heck? I would've asked for zoloft if I'd have known I was going to feel this way.
The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that there's a baby to think of now! I am quite happy; a true non-chemical happy for once. These spells of vertigo seem trivial when I consider what's at stake.
I'll NEVER take cymbalta again! Hopefully I won't need to; but if I do I'll ask for something different. Whether they're treating me for migraines or anxiety or both-there is no way I will EVER put myself through this again.
This is NOT a nice club to be in. But at least we're not alone. It's nice to know the REAL depth of one's insanity; and what better gauge than the life experiences of others?
