Cymbalta Withdrawal Help and Support: tryingtobeagoodmama - Viewing Profile

Was put on Cymbalta against my better judgement for PPD. In my 9th month of taking Cymbalta. I expressed concern for side effects I was experiencing in the beginning to my doctor, like anxiety, night sweats, and weight gain. I was just put on a higher dose. In January I was pink-slipped in the hospital for having extreme suicidal thoughts. Turned out my Potassium was 2.7!! I was so dehydrated. As soon as I had the potassium supplament and potassium I.V, I felt better. After that, I started to wean off of the Cymbalta. Tried to quit cold turkey a few months back. That was HORRIBLE!!! I had bad nystagmus, foggy thoughts, bad anxiety... I litterally felt like I was on drugs. I still felt bad, so I had my birth-control (Mirena) removed thinking that was the problem. Not sure now because I am still feeling the effects of my withdrawal. By the way, I was very lucky to lose 30 pounds from having my baby, but I gained 40 while on Cymbalta. Thought it was the birth-control, but now seeing many people have gained weight.
