I've seen a lot of different answers on the internet, and would like to get a real answer.
So I'm on day 6 coming off 60mg of cymbalta cold turkey, replaced by 150MG of wellbutrin, and the first couple days I was thinking, hey this might be easy after all. Now on day 6, I can tell for sure something is not right, I'm getting insanely mad over ridiculous situations. For example, I got mad my phone wasn't turning on fast enough so I slammed it into the corner of my desk and threw it at the wall. I work at a job where anger is just not tolerated, and I feel like I may be putting my job at risk here.
So along with my original question, is this anger something that will pass, or could this be permanent.
Any input would be great, I'm sorta freaking out here.
Ron-
I am no expert by any means...... I have however been dealing with my wife and her cymbalta issues for two years. The anger issues should eventually pass, but, you may have to consider going back on cymbalta at least to a level where you fell somewhat "normal", and then taper off slowly from there. The wellbutrin helps some people with the withdrawl effect, but not all the time. You will have to be the judge of that. It has been my experience, as well as many others, that a slow tapering off the cymbalta minimizes the negative effects of detox. Stay in touch.
Hope this is of some help
