hi everyone. i just felt like talking to people that i felt would understand.
i am soooooooooooo tired of this, i feel like like just stopping the cymbalta cold turkey. and abandoning the weaning off process.. its just taking s long .
i feel like everyone is living there life besides me . i am just stuck in my apartment with no interest in anything. and to make things worse my boyfriend and i have been arguing lately and the fights depress me even more, especially since he is my whole support system. i am so fed up . i just want to feel normal, i just want to do things like everyone else i know...... i feel like i am wasting my life away. i have suffered from depression since i was 14 and after 16 years of battling this crap im fed up and afraid that the best years of my life are gone and i didnt get to enjoy them.

Hi there,

Im not a dr. just a woman (51) that soooooo gets your post. Cold turkey is not the way to go..its really hard, really ugly, and NOT good for your body. If you would like to chat more..send me a reply..I could use the support as well..boyfriend doesnt quite understand either..unless you've taken these meds and tried to get off...ya know the ol' saying " walk a mile in my shoes"..???

hi . i understand what you're saying but its ruining my life so i have to try this cold turkey , cause i cant do anything with my life and my boyfriend and i are on the rocks so i dont have a support system like before so as hard as its going to be , i have to do it.

if any one knows any advice about going cold turkey or anyone know anyone who did. please let me know.

I found out 2 weeks ago that I am pregnant... Just happened after 12 years of infertility... And 3 adopted kids. At first I stopped cold turkey, thinking it was best for the baby... It was terrible... Like vomiting, uncontrollable crying, light headless, dizzy, seriously felt like I was going insane. Went to dr... No help, pharmisist said get off, was on 60 for 3 years, she had me take 30 for 3 days, 30 every other day, then skip a day & a 20... The last dose was last tues.. A week tomorrow. I still feel like crap& have the same symptoms. I am just trying to bear with it & hope to feel normal again soon. I wish I knew how long it would last.....
