Tinker! I'm completely there with you! These last few beads - and you look at them and wonder how in the world they make THAT BIG of a difference!
I was down to 12....so I'm not quite as far as you are - and everything kicked in again. Bumped back up to 14 yesterday and today (where I last felt semi-normal) and today is SOOOO much better.
I was told on Monday by a friend who was trying to be helpful "Just throw them away and be done with it! Suck it up!" Not helpful. This certainly isn't my timeline either - but I'd rather go slow and function than be the mess I was on Monday. Each day....it's something new...and so FRUSTRATING!

Tinker, I wonder about that every day myself ... how in the hell did I survive cold turkey? When I think back to what I was feeling/experiencing the first 3 months or so, I truly don't know why I didn't go back on the stuff, or check myself into a hospital ... the symptoms where so awful that I almost don't believe I could have had them ....
TFL did the CT route, too ... I figure that we're two of the older broads here on the forum ... maybe it's just that we were / are too old and tough to kill off? Kinda like the old hens in the hen yard ... too old to lay eggs, too tough to cook for dinner, and just too mean and ornery to bother with ... so we're sorta' left alone and allowed to "hunt and peck" around in peace ...

It took me over 4 months to slowly wean off the Cymbalta poison. I had to drop only 1 bead per day. To go any faster brought on w/d symptoms from hell. I've now been off this vile poison for a little over 4 months. I still have good days and days not so good. I take it one day at a time doing the best that I can with what I've got left to work with. Yes my brain is damaged from this nasty bad drug but it is what it is. Prayers for you from TheEquuswoman.
