Hi. I have read so many stories about coming off Cymbalta. It has helped me because I am going through so much of the same things. I felt like I was the only one going through this. I am 37 yrs old with hubby and 2 teen age boys that fight all the time..... I have been on Cymbalta alittle over a year. I made the decision to quit cold turkey. One of the many hardest things I have done. I had side effects while on it and Lord forbid I missed a day. I sat down in the shower a couple of days ago asking God to help me and cleanse me of this Please. I have not been doing okay at all!!!! Anyways, I had to sit my hubby and kids down to try and explain what is going on with me, my emotions, anger, irritability, crying, and every thing I am feeling. I asked them to please hang in there with me through this but I believe it is harder for them than I thought. I just hope that my family and friends are going to be able to support me. I am trying so hard to keep a positive attitude and I have hope and faith as much as possible. I have been off Cymbalta for 6 days now. 3 days ago I started taking Omega 3 Fish Oil and Super B-Complex Vitamins. It is said to help with depression. I know it takes a while for vitamins to really get in your system but I have been desperate and hopefully this will help. I feel for everyone and are happy for the ones that are not experiencing these crazy nightmare of withdrawls. Best luck to all. Kim
