Then the ones who don't comprehend are the quickest to judge. Then they wonder why people don't get help? I'll say it right now so those who need help will seek it out. I spent five years in therapy. The Therapist was a Godsend. Without him I could not have put some real bad events where they needed to be. My wife has been in treatment with a Therapist at least 12 years and it does make a difference for a lot of people. GOD is in the equation also very much. She would likely be dead if He had not in His own way gave me a clinical name to give the doctors when my wife went psychotic and almost died. Not many have heard of Serotonin Syndrome :>}

I don’t think I had until last month when I was researching Cymbalta after one of my doctors prescribed it for my nerve pain.
After a few days of indecision I finally started taking it and thankfully I have not had too many bad side effects.. yet. The most annoying one that happens and I looked up to see if it was a known issue is excessive yawning.
I have to look up all medicine I get prescribed after the horror of Topamax that I took mid-July to mid-August 2011, and weigh the risks. To this day I have side effects that I can directly link back to Topamax.
I would rather get prescribed a strong pain killer because I know the side effects and I know I’m not the type to get addicted. But thanks to the pill heads a person with legit pain gets screwed.
My PCP keeps suggesting off label use of drugs for my nerve pain and I have nixed most of them. The Cymbalta was the neurologist’s idea so I am giving it a few months but keep alert for new problems. Just hoping it doesn’t screw up my A1c results like the other meds did.
