I weaned myself slowly off Cymbalta — started almost a year ago, and finished by December. Cymbalta raised my BP. As soon as I was finished with the weaning process (which was NOT fun!) my BP was down to my normal (on the low side). So, I was able to quit both meds. I’m afraid to get back on anything else. I had started on Prozac them switched to Cymbalta and was on that for at least a year.

While I was on them, I didn’t feel like they really helped. A few months ago, I started seeing proof that I was wrong in my 1 year ago Facebook memories. What I saw was a mostly clean house. Nothing like the current state of mess my house currently is.

I’ve worked myself back into the idea that I do need to be on meds. For my children. For myself. It’s just hard to make that phone call to get an appointment… that’s my goal for this coming week. Make that appointment, and make one with a weekly therapist to talk to.

This post helped push me to put this back on my priority list.
