Ive just found this site today, Ive been feeling soooo terrible over the last few day & after running out of excuses and things to blame I had a fleeting thought 'could it possibly be something to do with the medication id stopped taking in the last cpl of days?' didnt think for a second it would be but what was the harm in checking it out! So off I went to the bed room - i wasnt even sure what the bloody things were called - and typed into Google CYMBALTA withdrawal.... Oh My God.... What the hell have I been taking for the last 6, 8 or maybe 10 months? Ive got no idea how long ive been taking them cos ive got no idea of anything at the min... I barely know who I am at the minute & God Knows how this 'waffle' is reading!!!

I was feeling terrible before checking this out, but now I'm terrified too.... great! I was on 60mg of this 'Wonder drug' and stopped taking it maybe 4 days ago. I feel like i'm dying... my whole bodys killing me, I feel sick, dizzy, my head is full of cotton wool. I've just sat in a trance like state on the sofa all day, not got washed or dressed & not sure if ive eaten anyting today.

Im not really sure what i do now.... crawl into bed and wait it out? How can this be happening in this day & age? Shouldnt there be laws against this, ive been poisoned after all.... as have we all by the sounds of things. Think im in shock, its a lot to take in.

Don't give up ladypenny, just came across your post. Look through all the info people have been sharing. Take omega-3 oils etc. I have had a bad day today also from getting off Cymbalta, seems to be a real tough one. Hang in there and hopefully you have been weaning self off slowly. I am determined to gradually get off ALL psychiatric meds, I have started to research books from author Peter Breggin md who really says it all about these crappy meds.I could have accomplished so much more in my life if not on meds all these years. I bet ALOT of people feel the same way. I got sick and tired of sitting around watching tv, not answering the phone, not calling friends and relatives back. The final straw was when my mom died 7 weeks ago and I acted just like any other day. I was just numb as I looked into her eyes as she was in her bed at the hospice center, she had died 20 minutes earlier and I just looked into her blue grey beautiful eyes. I cry now as I type this as I finally can grieve, I have been off cymbalta for 4 entire days. Not easy but now I am a REAL person with feelings and am finally starting to oopen up.
