Take heart everyone...you will get better!

I went off of 60 mg cold turkey in July, and I was in HELL. An anxiety-ridden, headache-y, snappish hell. I didn't think I would be able to make it through but I did. The worst of the symptoms were done after 2 weeks, and after a month I felt completely normal. My anxiety (reason for being on Cymbalta) has not returned, and I feel 100%. I just remember how difficult it was and wanted to come back to encourage those who are in the place I was 3 months ago...you WILL beat this! Stay strong.

Thanks for the good news that maybe this will come to an end after all

It's while your in the throws of this mental crap that it's so hard to see
that it will ever get better again, or that I will find myself , the real me.

Thank you for the encouragement! I totally broke down mentally yesterday because of all the physical pain. Your post makes me more hopefull. I am on my second week totally off-9 days. I think I can see a light at the end!
