Hello fellow Cymbalta users! I am a 50 year old woman who has been on anti-depressants of some form since 1997. I have been on the Cymbalta for 3 years and I have gained much weight and feel I need to finally cleanse my body of these toxins I have filled it with. Would like to feel normal again if that is possible.. After being on 60mg for so long, I went to taking 60mg every day to taking it every other day and in 2 weeks I had stopped it completely on July 2. My symptoms were and still are Diahrea,brain Zaps(annoying) headaches,emotional instability,not wanting to do much of anything(not me)... Yesterday July 6 in the evening it got very bad so I ended up taking what I think was 30 mg because I took one of the capsules apart and took half the medicine. I ended up staying up late because I couldnt sleep and I was starving!! So I ate what I could stomach wheat thins with peanut butter, and I finally went to sleep. I made an appointment with my gp for tomorrow and hope to get some relief from these symptoms..But with everything I have read here it seems I just have to go through it and conquer this monster!! I plan on keeping up my walking in the mornings and eating nutritional foods with extra Omega 3 and I think vitamin d??? To those of you who are winning the battle please keep up the posting because it gives us all hope!!!
God Bless You All!!!!

I'm doing badly too! It's so tempting to take it again, just to feel some normalcy. I'm taking 30/mg every 4th day. I thankfully have not received brain zaps. A few months ago I quit cold-turkey and it was awful. I had nystagmus, and I went crazy. Right now I am tired all the time. I got a facial today and passed out on the table. I woke up to my snoring! My allergies are really bad too. I'm also very weepy and anxious. I am also very dizzy all the time. I seem to not have balance and I have a difficult time forming words sometimes. I'll try to say a word and I am thinking it, but when I say it, the word is all jumbled. It's bizzarre. I have extreme feeling of dread... I took my pre-natal vitamin that has a lot of Omega'a in it, and that seemed to help a little.
It's just so tempting to get back on it... stay strong.
