***new update***

 

well i completely weaned off of cymbalta within 2 months time with minimal side effects- after being off for 2 weeks or so, my joint pain/arthritis and extreme fatigue returned with a vengeance- so I got back on taking 30mg and it has helped sooo much- I have to say, this drug is a miracle for me- it allows me better sleep as well- I am glad I did come off of it, if just for a brief time, because it allowed me to see how beneficial this drug can be for me, and maybe others using it for pain.

It helps many Felicia, it is just a shame that it also causes so many devastating side effects in many.

Felicia, I'm not sure if you are still reading here. I am trying to wean off cymbalta due to side effects of memory problems, mental fatigue, profuse sweating and exercise intolerance. I haven't gotten any pain relief from it for my herniated disc but that is probably due to a bad mattress I should replace :-/ Do you think the pain that returned is due to withdrawal from cymbalta or did it go back to how it was before cymbalta? I took the medication for depression and suicidal ideation/PTSD so not sure if symptoms will rebound to what they were before I started on it or what will happen. I'm sticking with 30 mg/day until I graduate from school. Just wondering how things are now for you?

Thanks and good luck to you as you go forward.
