    I have been taking Cymbalta for over three years. It was prescribed for depression assoicated with my husband's terminal illness. He passed away a year ago, and I continue to take the pills. I don't know if I am depressed anymore...I feel numb. My sister recently told me that I seem different and not my normal self. I know this may be related to the Cymbalta. I am moving soon and want to be my old cheerful alert person when I am with my family.
    I am afraid of the withdrawal.

Ok, folks, I need some advice. I am completely out of my Cymbalta and can't afford to refill the prescription I have. I called my doctor in California and told him of my fiancial problems and he agreed to give me a months's supply. A good friend picked up the pills weeks ago and after another call, she put them in the mail. So bascially I am going without anything for the time it takes the pills to get here.

After 3 days of no pills, I already feel strange. Anxious, upset stomach, irratable, not hungery and itchy. Is this normal.

Any suggestions what I should do to make things easier. Or do I go cold turkey and when the pills get here, reduce the dosage to 30>\?

any help or feedback is appreciated.

Dear Just Me:
Anxiety, upset stomach, irritability and itchiness have been symptoms I´ve experienced.

To make things easier you could take a certain dose of cymbalta and start weaning from there with the available product that you will have (month´s supply). You didn´t mention how many miligrams where you taking now??
