Where is your post?
I can't get back to your regional posts. I'm having a really rough time with Cymbalta withdrawal. Can you tell us again how you got through it?
Iam on day five and I feel like I wanna die, keep hoping for a better tomorrow . Please tell me how much longer? I was on 20 mg n stoped cold turkey
Please tell me what you did?
Hey everyone, I will say I'm a happy sad to see that I'm not alone with the withdrawals. I was taking 120 MG of Cymbalta for 4 yrs. I took myself off of it. I'm on week 1 with no Cymbalta and my world is crumbling. I took myself down slow for over 2 months. But as of this morning I'm about to lose it, I now suffer from Sever Claustrophobic to the point I can't sleep but maybe 1 hour each day. During that 1 hour of sleep I can wake myself up very startled and gasping to breath, this happen at 5 to 8 times in 1 hr. Of course my emotions are all over the place and I truly believe my husband thinks I'm faking this whole ordeal. I sure wish I was so I didn't have to feel this way for real. The zappys are less now during the day but intensify at night. I use relaxing sounds, lavender and Frankincense and mrryh these things have always worked for me in the past to try and sleep. I have always have a insomnia but there is nothing like havin all these things happening at the same time. My panic attacks have tripled since I stopped Cymbalta. I will say I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER GO BACK ON IT!!! Thank you all for listening and I Pray that no one EVER gets a prescription for Cymbalta EVER. If you do please rip it up its definitely not worth it. As for weight, I gained 78 lbs in 4 months in the beginning of starting Cymbalta and the Dr. said it will be fine, later you will work it off. All lies I say bc once on it my life stopped. Thank you for listening to my story.
Hi. My name is Chris. I am 59. I'v been on and off Cymbalta 3 different times in the last 8 years. I've always gone back on because of the side effects. I am on my 4th day of quitting cold turkey. I am still having the brain zaps. I am taking Ambien to help me sleep but the nightmares are horrible. I wake up feeling like I have the worst hangover imaginable. I have a terrible sinus condition. I don't dare drive because of the dizzy spells. I am on 150 mg of Wellbutrin daily. The biggest problem with Wellbutrin is that it causes ED. This is it. I got this. As soon as I beat these Cymbalta withdrawals, the Wellbutrin is going down the road also. I really think that MD's are getting kickbacks from the drug manufacturers. That's why they don't tell us about the side effects and withdrawal effects. I'm seriously considering medical Marijuana.
That's great news!! I've been on 120mg of cymbalta a day for 3 years but I can't take the time to wean off ,I'm going cold turkey. I'm thinking the side effects might not be as bad because I am on Prozac,wellbutrin,and lyrica. So between the three I ought to be ok I pray.
SO I WANTED TO SAY I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Oh Jill honey my brother and son take xanax for anxiety. I use to take Valium which the difference is xanax last 4-5 hrs.,valium lasts 8 hour's. Hope this helps honey.
Cymbalta saved my life about 8 months ago, at the end of what I didn't recognize as a deep, dark depression resulting from an overload of personal trouble that eventually landed me in a psych ward for 18 hours and where I was prescribed Cymbalta. It helped me get through all of that, but now that I have my life back in order I'm trying to get off it. I was at 90mg, now down to 15mg after a couple months of tapering. Just wondering how long the withdrawal lasts, cause it seems that the dizziness isn't going away.
Hi Mike, I can't find the search facility to find your previous posts. I would like advice on how to use the tapering method to come off Duloxetine.
Open the capsules and take about half of that every third day. Then keep decreasing from there. The best thing to do is decrease in measured steps. This will help manage the withdrawal symptoms.
Mike!!!! I can't find your post about wish supplements to use!! Please please repost!!
I can tell you the amino acid L-Theanine helps setting my anxiety down quickly without any side effects. No drugs in it at all

Wow...... I've been on 90 mg of cymbal tag for years. Jan 6th I dropped down to 60mg. I really haven't been paying much attention until just reading this thread. Here it is Jan 25 and I'm thinking in 12 days to go down to 30mg. So you are saying this is going to be to fast?
I've been on cymbalta for at least two years for fibromyalgia and feel like it doesn't help at all so I spoke with my doc about going off. Was on 60mg and she is dropping me to 40mg for 2 weeks then 20mg for two weeks and then off. I'm a bit nervous because it's been 5 days on the 40mg dose and I've had MAJOR headaches and muscle pain and spasms. Any tips to ease these? I think I read somewhere about taking Benadryl to help?
