Hello to all,
I have been on cymbalta for the last 6ish years. Started at 60mg then up to 120mg and finally abuot 6mos ago 180mg. Last month my pharmacist told me my ins. co wouldn't pay for my total refill, just 2 of the 3 pills a day. So I called my doctor, they told me to come in. Long story short they said we'll just drop you down and try something else. That first interaction I never really got an answer for why they denied it after 6mos? Anyhow, I have been on the 120 dose, for about 3 weeks. Yep....same as the rest of you...zaps, flu like symptoms, nightmares, exhausted, achy, pain in my back and neck. I am concerned however for something on top of the obvious...most of you are talking about the symptoms being bad when you go cold turkey...I've only dropped 30 and I'm there. Also, after researching for myself....I don't see many if any who have been on 180...my concerns; what damage may have been done? Also, I am on requip as well and before took zoloft and lyrica with the 120 dose. I can only imagine what my withdrawls will look like let alone what to expect as far as the length of them. Any help, comments, anything would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jac
Jac-
First off, I am so sorry that you feel like crap. SO NOT FAIR!
Secondly, what type of Dr. had you on 180mg? That's AMAZING! 180mg for depression????
