Hi,
Just another victim of this horrible drug from Australia going through hell right now.
I have been on Cymbalta for 5 years. I managed to get off it once for 6 months, went downhill again and had to get back on it. The doctors seemed to think it was the depression but now I know it wasn't, it was the medication! The withdrawl effects are essentially the same as depression itself.
I have made one last decision to wean myself off it again, otherwise I am going to be on it for life. I didn't notice any real side effects going from 120mg to 60mg to 30mg. But now I am on a week without it and omg I want to die.
I went to work yesterday, lasted half an hour as I was dizzy and nauseous as hell, burst out crying and that was it.
I don't know what to do! I want out but if it causes me not to be able to work I don't know what is the worst of the two evils.
Please help!.
