Iam on day 10 with no cymbalta.....i was weaning from 30mg..you know,1day on,1day off...i finally decided i wanted off the drug TOTALLY i had read
some different help ideas on here so i am using them all...lol..i still have all the withdrawal symptons but,they have diminished dramatically in the last4 days....i almost feel normal...yay!! i have also gained around 30 lbs.I am hoping that will start dropping in time...anyway the things that i believe have helped me are:

omega3(fish oil)
Vitamin B complex
Lots of gatorade
dramamine
lots of sleep

coming here everyday is a great emotional boost also.Thankyou everyone,you have been part of my recovering...i am not 100% yet,i would say about70%.there is light at the end of the tunnel. hang in there,tuff it out and stay in touch with people here and of course your spiritual support.

Hey Jude,

Don't make it bad...take a sad song and make it better .... Sorry couldn't resist .

I just wanted you to know that since getting off the Cymbalta I lost all the weight I gained. I wasn't even trying, it just happened!

So Jude you also have that to look forward to.

Have you tried 5-HTP? I am also on day 10 of withdrawal. The brain zaps are horrid, but 5-HTP really does ease them dramatically. I'm taking 100mg in the morning, and 50mg before bed. It really does help you sleep, and lifts your mood. Here's a brief overview that I found on YouTube.

All the best and well done! Never again will I take an evil antidepressant!
