First cruise and I am very anxious to the point I think it would be easier not to go then put myself thru this anxiety I have been feeling all week. My bf won it but had to buy plane tickets to fl.

I would go and take some Xanax with me just in case. You only live once. I know how hard it is though

I’ve been on it for a year. I’ve not had any issues with it.

Never goggle side effects,because if you're like me you will imagine you have them! Just go by what your body tells you as you start taking a new med. Hugs

I would sincerely advise you not to take it. It has made my life a living hell, making my depression worse, my nightmares horrible and it was the worst thing ever. I took it for 6 months, now I stopped taking it for a month and I still suffer from side effects as: paranoia, extreme anxiety, I am thirsty all the time and nightmares are still there to the point I am sometimes too scared to go to bed. When I went to the doctor and told here about all these side effects she said it's my imagination. I stopped seeing her, I gradually gave up on Cymbalta and I am still furious a doctor can be so mean and condescending and tell me antidepressants have no side effects. I hope my story helps you. Lots of love and take care 🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️!
