I need to know if other people suffer from the same things. I don't feel normal right now. I can't even place at times where I am or what I am doing. I am completely out of my body at times. I don't care about things around me. And I am really scared. Please help me.

I posted another topic where I introduced myself and what I am doing and how much cymbalta I am on and the withdrawal is awful. I am on 120mg which I understand is quite a lot. If anyone wants to talk to me about what they have been through I need to feel like what I am feeling is normal and I am not alone because I feel really alone and although I am suppose to keep whatever composure in front of others, inside I am going insane. My brain is not working right, I don't know how else to explain it. The sad thing is I can deal with any physical withdrawal symptoms. make me sick, Ive been throwing up, diarrhea, I felt like someone has been punching me in the stomach for days. The pain I have is intense and throughout my whole body. It got to the point where I couldn't move. But I can't take the mental part of this. I am organized, with it, together person and I am completely falling apart but I can't show that to anyone I know. I am suppose to be the strong person and I am very weak right now.

You are not alone in this..... many people are going through some form of cymbalta detox, or trying to get off this drug by quitting "cold turkey". The latter is not the most desireable way to get off the drug, as there seems to be more withdrawl effects associated with this method. There are many places on this site that give details on peoples experiences with cymbalta. My wife is currently detoxing from cymbalta... was at 90mg, now is at 40mg. The regimen that has worked thus far for her is LOTS of fluids (green Gatorade seems to work well for many), flaxseed oil, omega3 fish oil, then dropping the dosage every two weeks by 10mg to allow your body/brain to "re-adjust" top the lower dosage. Some people have been using a motion sickness otc medicine to combat the nausea. The symptoms you describe are very common..... I hope this helps with some of your fear. Some people have had to use other medications to help detox from the cymbalta. This should only be done with the direct supervision of an informed medical doctor. Stay in touch with the people on this site..... it has helped keep myself and my wife sane.
Take care

Read through these posts and although it won't change you physically, you will make you believe in better times ahead. Thanks to everyone who has shared your trials - I was at the point of trying valium and nice sharp razor blades. Not anymore. I am about to try the regimen recommended by a fellow sufferer, hope it helps and I doubt it could make things worse! Hang in there
