8th Cymbalta Update - Feeling Fair

July 14, 2026

Feeling okay. Been having bouts of anxiety and gi upset. My window always seems to begin in the afternoon. That's when I start feeling better, and my symptoms gradually become less intense throughout the morning. I know I can get through this, and I'm hopeful that my stabilization will continue to go well.

With a doctor's supervision—but unfortunately, a doctor who doesn't know how to properly taper off an antidepressant.
