    I am attempting to stop using Cymbalta after 2 years of being on 60mg.

Posted 11 May 2010 - 09:24 PM

I have been weaning off of Cymbalta for a week and a half. And I haven't been able to sleep. I haven't slept the past three days and am so tired but I can't sleep. I've been on some form of anti-depressant since 12, am now 21. I also have been taking Zolpidem (ambien) for sleep and still cannot sleep! If I manage to sleep it's for about 30-60 minutes. I'm so tired, I'm at my wits end.


I just started weaning off about a week or so ago and I haven't been able to sleep either! I haven't had insomnia in YEARS and since I've been on Cymbalta (2 yrs) all I have done is sleep! It's a complete 360. Today I finally crashed though, came home from work and napped... still tired and getting ready to go back to bed for the night. I was on 60mg and I have been taking one or two beads out a night for about a week. Tonight I'll take ten out. I hope things get better for us!!
