My girlfriend lost her insurance and recently ran out of her prescription of Cymbalta. If it gets to the point where we have to pay the $380 to get the prescription filled, we will do so but trying to look at other options. Is thier a generic?? Or any ideas of some kind of temp insurance or way to get this drug cheaper? Thanks

I've been trying to find an opportunity to get off Cymbalta for about a year now, but theres never a good time, thanks to the incapacitating side effects. Any way, I missed a dose today, and I'm miserable. I'm frightened of the side effects that will come when my doctor and I finally have a chance to wean me off.

Those of you that successfully came off of drugs like Effexor and Cymbalta; what helped you overcome its side effects?

plus im 30, i have borderline personality disorder, ive endured an immense amount of abuse & victimization in my life.
is it normal if youve had a history of being victimized abused and bullied throughout your life to feel like your being persecuted by people & the system now?

i get very depressed, i live alone, get very lonely, ive never been employed or had relashionships...ie: a girlfriend.
worse thing is, i have dreams and ambitions i dont no how to reach in life...i want to emigrate from the uk, find a new life, find a loving partner......
but i feel like im being prevented from achieving those dreams and im being persecuted by society or ' the system'.....& i dont no how to fight it..
im waiting for therapy, but because my problems are so entrenched, im wondering can it really help me....i feel so angry, negative & self destructive...and im finding it hard to battle against, the inner rage...i feel as though people have made me this way & ruined my life, ruined how i think

I have a 5 year old and a 14 year old who are addicted to video games, causing arguments and bickering all the time because one took a longer turn and such, my husband also loves video games but is not addicted. How can I break them off of this cycle without being categorized as the "evil" parent?

I, like several people who are fans of My Chemical Romance, credit them for saving my life or having a big part because of the great feeling and release I get from their music, videos, and the two times I saw them. But after, I am finding it hard to take steps to change what's negative in my life. I am a single parent of 2 kids and my elderly mother lives with me. I have no finances to spare on things that could be helpful. With little time and less organization I find it hard to associate with others or find things to do that I could myself that may help. After reading some of the comments people wrote how MCR helped them, I think everyone else must have been able to turn themselves around. I have been motivated before and felt better for a while, but am always seem to be in the rutt & unable to improve my life. I even feel guilty and undeserving of being one of their many fans because I can't better my situation after their inspiration. Honest, clean, & polite tips please.

When you drink, like on the weekend, can it cause you to become depressed a few days after?

Is it part of the local culture and community or is it because
there is not enough training sessions to advise them not to sleep whilst working. Americans should learn more Shakespeare to aoolw this anti-social behaviour to disapear.

I smoked cigarettes for 15 years (1 pack+ per day). My quit date was December 6th 2006 and I have not had any since---not even one. I still have cravings that I don't think will ever go away. Does anyone have any thoughts about why I am still tortured with this addiction? From all accounts, it should be getting easier for me by now to win these daily battles.

I've had issues in my past need resolving that I have finally decided to talk to someone about professionally. I am 17, and have plans of training in childcare for a year, than Nanning in America for two years. The problem is the application forms al ask if I've ever had depression or gotten help, and I'm scared if I say yes that they won't let me go. I have never physically harmed anyone or anything, and I don't have a police record. I really need to see someone before the problems come back, or continue to remind me of an unhappy past. I don't know what I want to do, because my Nanny exchange is important to me, but getting counsilling is probably not something I should put off for the next three years. What should I do? I thought getting counsilling was a normal part of life?

I don’t intend this to be a joke. I know I’m not schizophrenic or anything of the sort but lately, I’ve been hearing all sorts of things in my head! I sometimes hear bits of muffled conversation like it’s coming from outside my window or somewhere else in the house but there’s no one there!! (And no, the place isn’t haunted) Then, other times, like when I’m just about to fall asleep, I hear a loud voice or a door slam and it sounds like it’s right next to my ear. And I know it isn’t my sister playing a practical joke on me. After all, it happens around 12.30am or 1.00 in the morning!!

I know I’m imagining all these things. But why?
