Hi Hhislandgirl

You didn't say how long it took you to wean off but it sounds like it was too fast. For one thing, the 'every other day' thing just doesn't work. We've seen it so many times here. It throws your body into withdrawal, then reintroduction - over and over. The other thing that we've found is that a slow taper is far more effective than a quick one.

It might be worth getting back on Cymbalta, maybe start with 10mg and see how you go (remembering that I am not medically trained so I cannot give medical advice) then increase to 20mg if you need it. You could then stabilise for a week or two before starting a slow taper. How slow is something only you can determine through trial and error but I've heard 10% consistently recommended at another forum.

Hope that helps
