Yes,
I'm really noticing it this past week since I came off Cymbalta and can think again. I can't rememebr having this much mental energy in a really long time. Isn't it easier to sedate ones emotions with drugs to reduce anxiety? It quiets the brain and you forget you have any problems, although problems are necessary for us to use our brain effectively. If the meds shut down the brain, too well for too long, it's going casue brain atrophy...aka 'feeling "stupid' and that's when we go back to our docs to try another med, but often times the cycle just repeats itself, one med after another...
I hate to say it...but I start Emsam tomorrow...kick me if I start acting stupid ina week or so.
