All these side effects, I just keep telling everyone, and myself "its the flu" and its funny how with some concentration you can accept and dismiss some really awful stuff if you make it into something its not...this is how I got here anyway. My husband who I think has suffered from depression as long as I've known him lad a family member with cancer (at the same time I had a family member dx'd with cancer) and he was so overcome that everything fell to me, I mean everything, work child rearing, etc. While he was doing nothing but sleeping and feeling sorry for himself I was exhausted...a practioner told me it was menopausal symptoms and offered me lexapro to "take the edge off". 10 months later the pounding headaches and the fact that my husband still hadn't done anything about his problem had me believing HIM when he told me I was a problemed person so I allowed another practioner (the first one had disappeared) to prescribe Cymbalta to take care of the so called annxiety I was having when I tried to give up the lexapro because of the headaches...and here we are today. The whole time I was saying but I don't feel depressed, or particularly anxious for that matter, except this stuff makes my headaches MUCH worse.
So if I could actually be dumb enough to believe taking cymbalta would cure my husband's depression I can get off it by convincing myself these side effects are the flu, why not?
