I took Cymbalta for about a year. I developed some side affects from it and had to stop. My doctor took me from 60 mg to 30 mgs for a week, then stopped completely. WRONG THING TO DO. My mind and body felt as if everything was mis-firing. I thought I was going crazy and thought about killing myself to stop the withdrawals.
I've had this feeling for over a week with excessive sweating, headaches, nausea and haven't been able to sleep without a sleeping pill. I would suggest to anyone contemplating taking Cymbalta to not take it. There are alternative medications that do not have the side affects or horrible affects pf withdrawal.
