When I started on Cymbalta it really helped me. It has pooped out now and I need to switch up again but in the beginning I noticed a definite difference. I hope it works for you.
I am so sorry that things got so bad that you had to go to the emergency room. I hope this transition goes to Cymbalta goes smoothly.
