hi,
i am new here and wandering what others have experienced. i started taking cymbalta about a year and 1/2 ago when i was going through a stressful time and nerves were on edge. i have always been moody but i was losing control. i could tell things were better after i started taking it and my aches and pains were much less. the only side effects i had were dry mouth and sweating. i have given thought to stopping. i let my prescription get low and run out. so i have been off of it for little over a week. the behavioral, emotional reason have returned along with the aches and pains. also nausea, headaches, sleeplessness and increased irritability. i would rather be on the med than feel this way again. i filled my script and will deal with insurance company when i am thinking straight. how have folks weaned themselves off and what have side effects been? i would love any help you can give me. thanks
