My main question is, how much longer do I have to suffer from withdrawal side effects?
Over a month ago, my journey began as my doc wanted me to try something new after several years on Cymbalta. Well, to do that I had to go from 60 to 30 mg. It wasn't a big problem -- in fact, I was feeling so good, I thought, maybe I don't really need this drug. So after a few days I had bad side effects and thought I need to ease into it. There isn't anything less than 30 I can take, so I needed to go cold turkey after about a month on it.
It has been hell. I've even tried opening the few capsules to divide the material, but no luck with that. Its headaches, massive vertigo even when I'm not in motion, and pain all over my body for no reason. My legs feel like weights and its hard to move. But, damn I love sleep right now. All the insomnia that plagued me on the drug... gone. Replaced with an incredible urge to sleep all day and all night. Except I can't do that realistically.
I get irritable over little things too. I figure it will pass. I was numb on the drug -- numb to everything good and bad. Whereas, now, I see a future where I experience things again.
I just want to know how to help my body get on traack and get drug free at this point. I'm going to lose my job if I keep on having these spells.
