Hi Rachel

YES, you are going through withdrawal. Drs just don't seem to get that it's not wise to drop the dose of modern a/ds so quickly. This site lists all the possible withdrawal symptoms although no one will get them all so don't be alarmed. http://www.prozactru...om/cymbalta.htm

My recommendation would be to updose back to 60mg then to wean more slowly. Generally it is said to drop by 10% each time then wait 3-6 weeks between drops. However, everyone is different, some can go faster, some have to go more slowly. It's trial and error. Many people also find Prozac useful during Cymbalta withdrawal.

Umm... I have to ask.. what is PMDD?

Kind regards

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder

My dr described it as having depression but only 2 weeks out of the month. My depression cycles.

ahhh ok. I don't suppose your Dr told you that evening primose oil is very good for premenstrual tension? Some people swear by it. Could be worth a try?
