Verne,Since your pharmacy does make up the difference eventually, it could also be just a case of poor planning on their part. I'm so sorry that the experience ended up taking such a toll on you though. I've had those kinds of attacks before. They're not fun to say the least. Under the circumstances I think you showed restraint in not diving into the beers before you got home!
I have followed many of your posts since you first had such a good response to Cymbalta and I was considering trying it at the time. I guess decreasing your dosage has left you with less defenses against anxiety and depression. Have you considered raising the dosage again or were the side effects that intolerable? You sounded so much happier on the higher dosage.
In addition, I wanted to say that I have also followed your posts because you have so much to say and you say it in such a witty and intelligent manner. I am frequently entertained by reading your messages and often gain some valuable insights at the same time.
Thanks,
Kara
