More Cymbalta, more shoes

I’ve been taking Cymbalta for about three weeks, and I seem to have adjusted well.  For the first couple of weeks I definitely developed a post-Cymbalta headache every day, but that’s now stopped happening.  I’ve felt really fatigued for the past couple of weeks, but I’ve got no way of knowing if it’s the Cymbalta’s fault, or if I’m just tired from activity and the heat.  I’ve noticed quite a few people finding my blog while doing searches for things like, “Cymbalta makes me tired”, but I’m afraid I can’t help with any advice or suggestions on that subject.  If my excessive sleepiness goes away by the end of August, I’ll assume the Cymbalta was the cause, but otherwise, it’s just the way things are.

I’m not sure if Cymbalta has had any emotional effect on me, but I have the attitude, “no news is good news”.  I don’t feel on edge or agitated, and that’s what I’m looking for—my reasons for taking an anti-depressant are varied, and many of my symptoms are subtle, so making decisions about efficacy tend to take a long time.

I’m going to order some Cymbalta from Progressive Rx this weekend, in hopes the quality will be good.  It’s hard to beat the price ($100 for 6 months, instead of $100 per month at a US pharmacy), and we use Progressive Rx’s version of Prilosec and it’s good stuff.  They tend to ship fairly quickly, too.

On the subject of shoes, my new brown leather Earth Shoes were delivered yesterday.  I love them!  They’re not quite as soft and comfy as my Earth athletic shoes, but they look good, and it feels good to wear them.  They honestly do improve my posture, which in turn makes my back happy.
