Hi, Has anyone heard of b12 injections to get off Cymbalta? I have been on for 3 years and can't get off this drug. The withdrawl is horrible. the spins, sweats and other stuff is a killer. I am down to my last 30mg pill and will try to take some of the stuff out like suggested but does anyone have any vitamin help on this?? I am going to read the the B12 epidemic book but have yet to hear of anyone that this has helped.
Thanks

I was on Effexor XR 150mg and Wellbutrin XR 300mg at the same time. The Effexor had insane side effects that if give the choice between the withdrawal side effects and death i would have chosen death. I asked my doctor if i could step down from both to eventually get off of them. He cut both of my prescriptions in half! I immediately told him I changed my mind and ill stay on full dose for a while and think about it. Anyways long story short i found this program on the internet called "The Road Back" I fallowed it without purchasing their supplements and instead finding and purchasing cheaper forms as i did not have alot of money. I stepped down off one med at a time for months till i was off one for a while then stepped down from the other. The wellbutrin was in tablet from. Id cut the tablet with a razor blade and dip the cut ends in wax so it would maintain its extended release form. The effexor was capsules with little beads. Id just take out an equal amount of bead in 2 weeks worth of capsules then then after two weeks take out a bit more than i had the first time. Until finally it took me about a month to get off of the last few beads without withdrawals. Any questions message me. Goodluck!

The Road Back site does have good suggestions. I think the B12 will help some. Omega 3s are helpful. I am finding acupuncture very helpful in dealing with this cymbalta hell...Also, I take benedryl at times for the withdrawal symptoms. Helps a lot. I am also down to 30 mgs. Have gone from 120 to 30 mgs in a month. Had I known how horrible this drug is, I would have never taken it. Has caused me some liver problems. I will be glad to be finally off of this c**p soon. I just hope I can make it through all this....
