I have been on 30 mg of Cymbalta (supposed to be twice daily - I have only taken one most of the time)for over a year for fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatica. I am losing my insurance in a month and I want to get off this. Now that I've read several posts here I want to get off it even more! I had no idea this stuff was so dangerous...unfortunately I usually take a physician's word for what I need, especially since I was in so much pain.
I tried to quit cold turkey and got so sick I had to lay down for several hours, felt like I was going to upchuck, sore stomach, fierce headache, fuzzy brain. I was off it for about four days and finally had to take one (I did empty out some of it.) It is horrible that a drug company produced this stuff and the FDA approved it! If I had known about it (and I should have read up on it before I ever put it into my mouth), I would have opted for muscle pain rather than this!!!
Thanks for being here. I found you by putting 'withdrawal from Cymbalta' into my search engine.
So Glad I Found You...
