My primary had nothing to say other than "I know it's upsetting but keep doing your best!". In addition to those symptoms I felt earlier, I cry several times a day, agoraphobic, barely move around the house, all while trying to be a good dad to an 8 year old boy. I wrote my psychiatrist asking to increase since I feel like things are getting worse. Its been 2 weeks and I'm on the lowest dosage. I restarted Cymbalta, just 20mg daily, to combat withdrawal, then decided to try Effexor. Klonopin daily helped but things were still the same when I didnt have one in my system. I had believed that now I was suffering from Cymbalta withdrawal and it was just a matter of time before it dissipated. I believe I eventually brought it up, by the way.īy the time January rolled around, nothing was changing. Nobody had even mentioned Covid at the time. After Thanksgiving and into December, the feelings were a bit overwhelming and we pinned it on the increased mgs. I was on 30mg of Cymbalta and increased to 40mg daily. We decided that it may have been time to adjust my meds. Fatigue was also setting in which is when I contacted my doctor. I felt/feel like I can't concentrate, lose focus, slur speech on occasion, zone out, etc. The most noticeable symptom was brain fog. In early November is when everything started going downhill. It was early August when I tested positive, and recovered from the typical symptoms about a week later. There are no other explanations as to why I've been feeling this way, yet my primary physician, among others, refuse to say I have Long Covid. Everything was "manageable" until post-Covid. My life for the last several months has been turned upside down. I did a little searching already but hope to get some direct feedback. New here on the board and I imagine what I'm about to write may have been discussed.
