I used to suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks. At that time i was prescribed Paxil (but being terrified of meds) I used to cut the pill in half. What helped me the most was a book “From Panic to Power” just knowing there were others like me took 60% of anxiety away… I started to walk/run, changed my diet (took out gluten) , drank chamomile to calm my nerves and of course prayed… now it is very very very rare I get panic attacks now.
This is the same situation i am dealing with as my sister has been taking Cymbalta and has become hatefully angry and aggressive to the point we no longer speak to each other. She swears she doesn’t have a problem and it’s not the drug. It’s unfortunate that we have no relationship but I can’t find any other explanation to her hateful outbursts and aggressive behavior.
Yes! My sister has taken cymbalta for years and has become increasingly hateful with aggressive bouts of unwarranted anger. She refuses to believe anything is wrong with her. It has ruined our relationship completely.
Please tell me how long it took you to level out. My husband was on Cymbalta for about 6 years and the loving man I married has disappeared. I don't want a divorce but he complains about everything. And I do mean everything from how I dress to the wind blowing.
