Eje y guys i live over seas and I started taking cymablata about 2 years ago. Before this I was on 3 mg of xantax a day and still having anxiety attacks in broad daylight so in some matter this drug has helped me overcome that problem and as long as I take my dose I'm fine, ok maybe a bit heavier than before maybe a bit more sleepy but a small price to pay I said to myself
Boy was I wrong this hell pill should never be taken I missed a dose today and 12 hours latter all hell broke loose I mean dizziness fatigue hum in my ears turn my neck vertigo numbness in my limbs so I take the missed dose and back to square one except what am I supposed to do to her of this when the time comes?
Thanks y'all for being here maybe we can all get together and sue Lilly's butts of for poisoning us
Cymbalta sucks it is the worst medication in the world. I wanted to kill my self. I was put on this to supplement my celexa for depression plus degenerative joint disease after detoxing from opiods(8-30mg oxycodone, 8-8mg dilaudid, 2-12mg exalgo, 2-80 mg OxyContin daily) for two years. Side effects too long to list but they all have. I would rather take another week of hell from the opiod detox than the non addictive cymbalta bull mentally no physically yes. Law suits???????????
hi userreb5064,
(and anyone else here battling)
please please read my post from a long time ago (arieln)
please.. don't taper too quick! (take out granules every few days).. do not trust any p-doc who believes in this drug.
find a new p-doc if they don't support you getting off Cymbalta.
I was on the same BS concoction you are on (see my post).. and I lost so much/almost destroyed my life.
it is ummm.... I think 9 years later, and I have still not got my life properly on track.
is that only due to the drug, no I cant say that.. but it is partly due to how my life was messed up switching meds for 2 years..
are you ok now? I have not been on this thread in forever.
brain zaps: like electric jolts deep inside your head.
they zap hard, and also tingle.
if I remember correctly, they would sort of fan-out from the middle of my brain into my neck.
it was not nice.
best of luck everyone.
if you are off this nightmare drug, tell more people.

They will take your ability to function in life. I can't drive, focus and my heart is beating out of my chest. I have had to hire someone to take care of me and drive for me 24-7. Taper off. I tried but it has been over a month and I am getting worse. I cannot say there is any light at the end of the tunnel, as I had to back on 30 mgs. a day. I thought I would faint at anytime and this medication is so powerful, it took over my life while trying to withdrawl. Good luck, taper off at your own pace and don't be ashamed to get back on it until you can taper! Feel better!

Unless you've actually experienced the physical withdrawal symptoms, you're really not in a position to comment.
My psych dr has me on 120 mg of Cymbalta and 1 mg of Rexati. This is my second time taking Cymbalta because everything else I've tried over the last 17 years hasn't worked or just eventually stopped working. I know this will stop working at some point too. I want to get off of it. I feel like I'm just existing. Little energy. I don't feel happy. Idk what to do.
yeah i get that too the swooshy
WOW! I am happy I found this site and the posts. I honestly thought I was about to cash it in. I accidently missed a dose of Cymbalta yesterday. Didn't know why I was feeling so bad. Finally, after about 12-hours of feeling like I had swallowed a brick and about to die, I headed for the emergency room. Made it a mile down the road and had to park at a shopping center and call 911. Parametics arrived and said I was having a panic attack. I started crying and just feeling worthless and reflecting on all the bad mistakes I made and the people I've hurt and had no clue why. I'm a vet and have a bad case of PTSD, so I just figured it was from a build up "stuff" over a period of time, but I didn't know why I was feeling so sick. Not knowing what is wrong is what really causes me concern. If I know what the problem is and I'm not dying, I do a better job of coping. Thanks all for the info! I hope each and every one of you achieve the best health and your life improves 1000%.
I started cymbalta 4 years ago while being treated for Cancer. I would love to get off but, when I missed two doses I felt sick, cried at the least thing, dizzy. How long does it take to get this drug out of your system?
Thank you. My husband accidentally stopped (forgot) and had some slight dizziness but hay was it.
someone asked if the many different beads in the capsule are made of different substances. They are all made of the same ingredients.
