My wife has been on 60mg Cymbalta for seven months for anxiety, depression, and insominia due to the depression. Her doctor gave her the okay to wean off and gave her a 30mg dose for two weeks. She is currently on day six. She is experiencing brain zaps although she was having those before. Biggest issue now is out of control crying and panic attacks. She feels like her skin is crawling on the inside and she can't get out. She very desperate to be through with the process. She scared that her depression and anxiety are coming back. Any ideas on how long the these symptoms will last. She feels like she can make it if she knew there was an end.
I found a pharmancy that will compound a tapered dose. Should she go back to 60mg and taper down or should she "gut" it out for a while on 30mg. Thank you for your responses. Our doctor is helpful, but doesn't have the experience we are seeing on this site.
