Posted by spacemom in : Depression , trackbackI am not sure the cymbalta is working. This is the second month, that shortly after I start menstrating, and I have a hormone crash, that a depression has set in. I want to grab my book, make a hot cocoa and hide. I want to cry. I want to be tucked away in a warm bed with Soleil and Luna and Jay snuggled in with me, but not have to deal with any of them.
I hate these feelings.
I feel like a failure
I feel like I should just hide from the world, my life, my responsibilities.
I feel scared because 75% of the time, this drug works, and one week a month, I crash and burn
I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all…

You might want to check into adding a different depression drug during that week, or substituting it. They’ve got a PMS drug which is really one of the SSRIs, but it’s not cymbalta; it might work during that one week?
I’m sorry. I know how it feels, really.
Why is it that a depression drug works this way? I don’t know much on this subject, but is this how most of this type of medication works? Are you supposed to have times like this when you just feel awful? Man, I’m sorry you have to go through this…
Oh Nance, it’s so hard to deal with those hormones, isn’t it! I know I have a few days every month where I just can’t handle anything! How’d your party go today? Hugs!

Yes, yes, yes - what OmegaMom said. I also use natural progesterone creme so try to level out my wonky hormones. Some months it works better than others, you just have to keep up the fight, you know?
so sorry that it hits you this way…
