I came here because i really didn't know where else to go.
I have been on Cymbalta for about 4 months now. Before I started taking it I had severe anxiety that made it impossible for me to stay home alone at night time, and the doctor informed me that I also had severe depression. Things improved instantly with my anxiety. But I found that my depression became a tad more intense.
I have been off cymbalta for nearly a week now, due to losing my prescription and not having the time or the money to get another.
I have become an emotional wreck, I cry at anything and everything. I had hoped that although I was only on them for a short time that maybe I was ready to not be on them. But my depression has intensified by 10000000. With my family and friends not really understanding, it had made me feel horribly alone. I am sure that I will have to go back on them. But I just would like someone to let me know that it all is worth it.
The withdrawal symptoms are horrendous. The brain zaps are horribly and I get the worst motion sickness now. I cry all the time and I have a horrid short temper. I have become a monster. It all improves though? right?

Went from 90 mg to 0 mg in a 90 day taper. Unfortunately went back on Cymbalta and am now tapering the last 30 mg at -3 mg per week.
