This happens to be #2 cold turkey from Cymbalta, both I might ad is because the Doctor doesn't respond to the pharmacies request for refill when she should, so by the time I get my meds. a week later the withdrawal horror has begun. This second I have decided not to go back on it, I have taken depression/anxiety meds since I was 17 and am 42 now. I don't know how this is going to work without my life being completely destroyed. This has taken a toll on my relationship with the man I love more than life. I have extreme lethargy, feeling as if I am cemented down, so so so tired, strange dreams, excessive sweating, feeling detached from myself (I like to saw not even feeling human), I just want to cry and not be here to feel the pain I cause others, CANNOT FOCUS OR THINK CLEARLY, confusion, the list goes on and on. I haven't been able to work because of my depression/anxiety and there is no way I could work with these feelings and this is where my life gets frustrating for my fiance. I think I would do fine with just anxiety medication, people say talk to your doctor, well I say we know our body better than anyone and taking meds. for years we know what works and what doesn't (most of the time). My doctor keeps pushing me to take Prozac and Xanax, NOT GOING TO DO PROZAC DOC, and the Xanax is great for anxiety and panic attacks but my good ole doc says she doesn't use that for maintenance. I only use the Xanax when it's a emergency anyway. I was also recently on Ability and stopped it because of the side effects and tried it twice and the second time was not any better. Sooo please please someone tell me how long does these side effects last with not having Cymbalta? Please give me some good news, its been about 5 days now. Do admit myself to the funny farm or tough it out?
