Per my psychiatrist's instructions, I am trying to quickly wean myself off 60mg Cymbalta because it's possible that I am pregnant. He suggested that I take half a 60mg capsule for a week or so and then stop. I am on day 2 of this, and I feel like I'm dying.
I'm having brain zaps, sweating, aches, feels like fever/flu, not sleeping, can't eat, really crazy bad anxiety that I can't get rid of even with meditation.
I just need some support. Has anyone else done this due to a possible pregnancy?
I won't be able to take a pregnancy test for another week or so, but all the circumstances for a possibly pregnancy are there which is why I'm being extra careful.
Any help & advice would be greatly appreciated! This seems like a wonderful, supportive forum.
Thanks!
Christine

- I have been battling this drug for a long time. It is a dangerous and addictive substance, which causes users to not only have withdrawal syndrome, but addictive behaviours, like seeking the drug out, while withdrawing, or even later. This drug is as hard as some illegal ones, and some that SHOULD be illegal, like alcohol. Hopefully soon, the world will know how bad it REALLY is.
