30 to 60 in One Day

The first seven days of Cymbalta felt like a new beginning, these 30mg capsules gave me a clarity I had not experienced, well.....ever. 


Those seven days seem so long ago, these new 60mg capsules have me twisted. I feel scared, jittery and out of sorts. My usually insatiable sex drive seems to have dimmed under the artificial light of duloxetine. 


Last night - I was on the brink of a breakdown - certain my brain was going to explode. My eyes were bulging, my surroundings seemed new and wrong. I felt my true self was slipping away. 


I cannot help but wonder if the pills are causing this change. 


What if my current state is my true current state? 

What if these pills just alleviate the dread which caused my obsessive behavior?
What if I could become a well rounded individual free of so much need? 

What if this is normal?
