Hi.... I'm new here, don't really know where or how to start but I have had problems with depression and anxiety. Been in therapy since I was a kid. Always been really overly sensitive and have huge ups and downs.

I can go from super happy to literally wanting to die just like that, often I have no clue how or where the moodswing comes from.

My doctor has just prescribed me Cymbalta because even after all this therapy, I still have these really bad periods where everything feels just numb and I feel like I am in a haze. She says it will help me feel more stable and also help with my anxiety.... But I read a bit about this online and it has scared me. Now I am not sure what to do, whether to give it a try or not.

Anyone have any experience with it?

Thanks in advance.
