Rapid weight gain while tapering off of Cymbalta (duloxetine). Has anyone else experienced this?

I have been on duloxetine for about a year for depression and anxiety. While it has been somewhat effective in treating those, it wasn't effective enough to justify sticking with it given the side effects I was experiencing--mainly fatigue and headaches. My psychiatrist developed a plan for me to... read more

Sertraline side effects? Anxiety/dissociative?

I’m on my 3rd day of raking sertraline for anxiety. My anxiety is so much worse, I’m so tired, no motivation, head feels very fuzzy. I’ve taken a week off work as I can concentrate. Is this normal? And when will I feel better? I don’t want to leave the house or get off the couch.

Hi all. It’s me again - the one with the 4 year treatment resistant depression.

Duloxetine - A few days ago I began having what I believe are side effects of duloxetine.

I have a feeling of hopelessness, that life is exhausting and isn't worth living, as well as surreal thoughts, a hard time translating thoughts to words, and so on. My doctor took me off of it. It got better for a bit, but now I think I'm having withdraws. I'm having tremors, nausea, diarrhea, head... read more

I started Lexapro 11 days ago for severe anxiety and panic. So far, no relief.

Escitalopram side effects?

I have been taking escitalopram for 3 days now for my anxiety. Has any one else experienced mild heart palpitations or tightness in chest when starting this? I have read about side effects and I am starting to feel them now. I have had hot flashes and more anxious feeling. I hope it gets better.

BuSpar - Does anyone taking buspirone and get nervous and jittery towards the next dose?
