This is the first time I've seen an actual psychiatrist because I had to slowly taper myself off Effexor because of a possible side effect.
I was right - a skin problem I was having was from the Effexor. This doc has seen it dozens of times, and of course my IM MD was clueless that it could be causing the problem. She says psychiatrists call Effexor by a nickname of SideEffectsor. She says Cymbalta should be the right drug for me and they have not seen many side effects from it, even though it is sort of similar to Effexor.
She was extremely nice. She says she can't believe I've been coping as long as I have without seeing a psychiatrist. Of the 9 points for major depression they check, I have 9. She says I'm going to feel a lot better in a couple of weeks.
Hope at last.
