I have been sick with nauseation and dirreah for 5 weeks now. I have seen my GP and he has ran every test possible from pregnancy to Crohns, everything has come back negative. I have gone on gluten free foods, thought it could be my nerves, did food diary, now I am only doing saltines and water but there is no pattern. I have been keeping journal of each day and today while looking at my planner it just dawned on me. I saw my doctor 6 weeks ago and he increased Cymbalta from 90mg (Been on that dose for 3 years) to 120mg.
My husband is currently deployed overseas for a year. I am severely stressed with being a single mom of 2 small kids, 1 which has special needs. Then on top of that I have my own health issues, Lupus, Fibro & Rheumatoid Arthritis. I don't have the time or engery to be suffering so severely.
I have been reading stuff online and wondering if my issues could be side effects of the increased dose. Or being that half life is 12 hours, could it be from talking all 120mg around 8am and I need to break it up?
Please please give me suggestions. I am so sick I can't take care of kids and scared I might end up in hospital then who would take care of kids. I have to figure this out because I am out of options but I can't live like this. Then last 4-6 days I have been having headaches and severe insomnia and Ambien isn't even working..

I do want to wean off this medication especially after everything I am reading.but what Is the safest way to wean ?

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot keep living like this.
