I was on Cymbalta for a year but when I went off it I had some nasty headaches! (Could be bc I just forgot to refill the Rx, then realized it had been a week, and decided to go cold turkey. DON'T do that!!!! It says so right in the packaging...silly me!)
My neurologist put me on Amitriptyline for my occipital neuralgia (stabbing head pains cause by a nerve misfiring). I googled it and found it is also an anti-depressent. Then again, she asked me what stressors I had at the time and I told her about then-H. Turned into a therapy session! She commiserated about her unfaithful ex-H and told me to drop mine like a bad habit. Then she prescribed the meds. So, maybe she meant for them to serve two purposes?
Good job on sticking to a library/Starbucks/Panera. Much safer environment for right now. I hear you though on getting in a good makeout session. I had two or three good kisses with one guy and now I am trying to figure out how to have the next date and NOT have him thinking I want to go farther than that?? So playing it safe is definitely a good idea...
