Hi Michele,

I JUST started a low dose of Zoloft for anxiety reasons, however, my doc had suggested Cymbalta because it has a component that helps with pain issues. Due to seeing a pelvic pain specialist, there has been improvement over the past several months with the pelvic pain that I have. I felt more comfortable going with the Zoloft because I have read so many more positive things about it. She also has me on .5 mg of Klonopin at bed until the Zoloft kicks in. Since I have had C problems in the past I am kind of scared of Cymbalta.

I know everyone is different with AD's....but how long have you been on Cymbalta and what are your experiences?? I tried a very low dose of Lexapro in January and couldn't stand it. I was really, really wired and kept getting body twitches.

I'm sure since Cymbalta is fairly new (I think) it's probably at the high end of our insurance as well. I'm just hoping the Zoloft helps....I hate to keep switching. In a couple of weeks I'm going to be starting round 2 of the hypno tapes as well. I was doing really good for several weeks and then BAM....this replapse put my anxiety right over the deep end.

Thanks Michele.
Sharon
