Rosanne,
Get back on it ASAP. A matter of a day or two and you will be OK.
Others will give you the same advice,don't wait.
If you should wish to wean from it, come back and we will tell you what you can do.
We have heard this story so many times Rosanne, we know this is worse than hell. Good luck!

- Want off Cymbalta for good

I agree with the previous posts, get back on asap. I think most of us here would agree that Cymbalta is something you don't ever want to take but since you already learned the hard way, go back on to stabilize yourself. If you choose to go off, there are many here who can help you start to taper off in a safe way. Please let us know how you do.

Yes, weaning down is better than stopping all together to begin with. I weaned down and got to where I had to stop but I was already weaned down a bit before then. Don't wind yourself up in the hospital. We are here for you.
