I am on day 4 of no Cymbalta after doing the "decrease slowly" method. I am miserable, the brain zaps are driving me crazy. I am an emotional wreck and scared to death. My body must have been a prisoner to this drug, and I didn't even know it. I supposably have the "best" psychologist in town, yet he never said a word about what would happen if I stopped taking Cymbalta.
Realistically, how long am I going to feel this way?
I am so glad I found this forum. It does give me a bit of hope.
Thank you,
Christina
Christina,
Sounds like you have just stopped the drug=cold turkey, and you can't do it
this way! Yes yoour going to feel like that, and even worse in a few more
days.
You ust slowly wean yourself off this drug, it is a long, slow process, but
one that takes away all the crap your going through right now.
What i am suggesting is that you take your normal does, and then start the
slow weaning process that is offered here.
60 mg = 540
What you do is just take away 10 bead every 2 weeks, see what you feel like,
and just let me know, and we can adjust it, by adding a few beads. Also
Prozac 20 mg does help with the withdrawls as it's a long acting drug, this
one isn't even if it claims to be!!! I had some of the same things happening to
me while I was on it. No I didn't need more, it's just a really screwed up drug
that's all.
Always here to help,
Debbie
