Withdrawal from hell...

So, before I started trying to conceive, I knew that I would have to come off of two meds I normally took. The first was Adderall- my ADHD medicine. The second being my depression medicine - Cymbalta. It’s been over 6 months since I ended my Adderal- my biggest issue was going #2 by myself regularly. It’s been over a week cutting my dose of Cymbalta in half. My doctor told me - oh you’ll have 5 rough days. Hahahahhahahaha.

He was wrong. Cymbalta, a lot like another depression medicine called Effexor...is the absolute worst to come off of. I have nausea ALL day long. I have been forgetting simple stuff that I never forget. I forgot 4 ingredients in making meatloaf this past weekend...

After I’m off this medicine, I really doubt I will ever go back on it again. I can’t say ‘never’ but holy shit. I feel like I’m dying everyday...
