so. First off hi. Im new here as i see many of us are. I started taking cymbalta roughly four years ago for anxiety and depression. after many health care issues and being denied my pills several times and having bad withdrawals as soon as a few hours without,i decided enough was enough and started dividing beads. Im down to 28 beads, i had to keep it level for a few days now. I couldnt stand the numb hands, especially the backs of them, they still feel almost elastic or rubbery it's very intense. So here i am leveled off at 28 beads feeling slight relief but still scared when my nose,lips, hands, and head all feel numbed, not totally numb, just deadened a bit. Feels like a stroke. Classic anxiety symptoms such as, shortness of breath, prickling sensations in my extremeties, severe panic rushes, shaking and trembling spells twice a day or so lasting 2-5 mins. Waking often, hot flashes, lump or bad bad tightness in my throat. Severe neck stiffness and pain. And a constant sensation that my neck head and hands are bloated. Feels like a blood pressure issue for some reason. Chest pain. Audio distortion from time to time, and a overall feeling of unreality. For me the numb hands are the worst! Im past the brain zaps. They sucked no doubt but the numbness scares me badly. It feels like a stroke about to come on. Any of you get that? Any one get the neck and head pressure and pain? Help!

Dear Wolfmoon:

I guess we all started taking cymbalta around the same time. Between 4-6 years ago.

I also experienced prickling sensations, shaking and trembling spells, hot flashes, blood pressure, feeling of unreality, numb hands. However my shortness of breath was not an anxiety thing but like an allergy or asthma which I never had experienced before.


28 beads is almost nothing

thanks cookie you guys are the best! Im still holding steady at 28 for about a week or so now. Hard to keep track it all just melts together. biggest issue now is neck pain and tight throat, the rest is basically gone! Thanks again!
