5th Cymbalta Update - Feeling Poor

September 25, 2026··
Feeling poor. Been having bouts of irritability, insomnia, depression, crying spells, anxiety, muscle aches, and sweating. I’m holding steady on Cymbalta while I recover from a cold turkey removal of Sertraline and Trazadone. Today was hard. My nervous system just can’t take mood swings! Usually I can lift my mood on my own, but today I went down, down, down. Almost bedtime. May tomorrow be better.
