81st Cymbalta Update - Feeling Fair

September 23, 2026··
Feeling fair. Been having bouts of anxiety, headache, and fatigue. I’ve been out of the derealization for a few days now. I still have headaches and anxiety, but the nausea and dizziness are almost completely gone. I hope the anxiety will pass soon. I’m already able to take part in social interactions again sometimes, although it still fluctuates. One thing that has always been very difficult for me is the intense rumination when something triggers me. I can ruminate about it for days, which keeps the anxiety going. At times, though, the rumination eases, which is a huge relief and allows me to relax sometimes. But for the past few days, I’ve noticed that something seems to be changing in a positive direction. I’m going to continue holding at 15 mg. I hope my strategy works out. @duloxetin
