Alrighty,
I have been reading the "horror" stories of everyone coming off of cymbalta. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, social anaxiety, OCD, and resistant depression - or I did. I had a horrible year and was hospitalized and doctors tweaked my medications. Things seemed to fall into focus and I felt much better.
Then I decided to come of my medications. I am still not depressed - yeah. My anxiety is up and have been having odd sleeping patterns but I was off for over a month before I noticed it. I think mine is that I just got off cycle with summer vaction and now have my days and nights mixed up - or is this a side effect??? I am not sure what all the side effects have been or are - will someone please list them all for me? I am having some digestive problems which I think the OCD is magnifying, do I am not sure if it is the not being on cymbalta or not, but my anxiety level is up and so I was thinking of starting it again - I am open to suggetions. I was taking four medications on 3 now that I stopped cymbalta. I am just not sure if not being in school for the summer is intensifying things and making me worse b/c I really have nothing to do or if it is the coming off of the medication, but it has been awhile like over 2 months and I just started wondering about my heighten anxiety and ocd. Feel free to e-mail me at the user name above @aol.com. Thanks Sorry you all have had such bad experiences - I don't think I have or maybe I am and it is different thus I need a symptom list. Thanks again.
