I have an appt today with a pdoc for the first time.
I am scared...but I am going. Had a good chat with my T about it. I feel better now about why I need to go. I am still all around in my thinking. I have more clarity the past few days then last week but I still have moments of utter despair. Not sure what type of meds I will be prescribed. I know a little about certain ones and I know that I cannot take anything that will not allow me to function. At the same time, I need to control these swirling thoughts so that I can process them in a better way with my T and finally get some relief. We shall see how it turns out... |

I wish you the best of luck today at your appt. Let me know how it goes. I don't know you yet as I am still a real newbie, but that doesn't mean I can not feel for you. I also understand the swirling thoughts and I hope you can find a med that works well for you. Remember tho that it may take several tries before you find one.. Again Best of Luck Linda

Don't be afraid, SJ. He's not going to drug you out of your mind. Usually, you're started out at a very low dosage to see how you react to the med.
It's going to be okay! You'll see!

Ok, the appt went ok. Neither liked or disliked the doctor...but I never like meeting new people or talking about me.
She put me on cymbalta....it is apparently new. We will see how it works for me. Anyone on this? If so let me know your experience...thanks |

Just went on the Drug forum. Read some negative things about cymbalta. Now, the anxiety of seeing the pdoc is over and I went through with it. Thought maybe this new med would help get my thoughts together.
There are no positive replies about cymbalta...do I take it? Geez....I think I am making headway and bammm.... |

Glad you went to the PDoc ! Please remember that everyone is different when it comes to meds ! I would give it a try, for you it might be the right one on the first try ! IF you have side effects, you can try another med. Many of us went thru many many meds before we got the one that was right for us.......I really would try it !

Yes, I decided to go ahead and take it.
I debated it for a bit. Then I thought, 4 or 5 people cannot be the sole amount of people on this medicine and it most be doing something good or they would not prescribe it. Thanks for the encouragement! |
