I started Cymbalta Nov. 07.I am self employed, care giver to my aging parents, aging Aunt, two teenagers, a husband and perimenopausal. I thought I was having a heart attack when I went to my Doctor. She started me at 30, went to 60 then 120 's. At first I thought I had found a miracle drug, then I forgot to take a pill one day and bam! I felt drunk. I continued to take the drug. Met with my Doctor and told her my symtons. She said she had never heard of my symtons before... Lowered me to 60's Then I had a blackout driving my car, hit another car but thank God, neither of us was hurt. My husband tried to talk me out of taking the drug then but every time I tried I got so sick. I couldn't function. So kept taking it. Finally three weeks ago I started weaning myself off the drug. It has been exactly one week since I took a pill and I feel like a junkie. Migraines, dizziness, out of balance, my brain pinging the list goes on like everyone else who have had bad reactions. Saturday I literally cried all day. I have always been a pretty strong person but this drug has kicked my behind. I have read most of the blogs and mostly want to know how long does it take for this crap to get out of your system. Has anyone fully recovered without having to take anything else. I am afraid to take anything. When do you start feeling better? Did I come off to fast?
