Ok, so I posted on Day 22 that I felt pretty good. Did the Prozac wean off Cymbalta. The Day 23-26 have been truly awful. Nearly unbearable. Pure pain. Never took Cymbalta for pain, only for depression. Even my hair hurts. Don't want to take any meds (even OTC) as I just want to be CLEAN. So if someone is bored and would like to send me a cheery message to make my day, I would really appreciate it. Thanks ~ Katie

I'm here with you. I feel my heartbeat in my whole body, am shaking and feel dizzy. I can't walk a straight line. I just poured out about 3/4 of a 60 mg Cymbalta and took that so hopefully I will feel more "normal" soon. I'm sorry you are going through this also. We will make it to "clean" eventually. I did take some tylenol but I can't say it did anything so probably not worth it if you are trying to go off everything, even otc's. It's nice weather here so I think I will go lay in a chaise lounge in my backyard and see if the sun makes me feel better. I will check on you later. Things will eventually get better.

Thank you for the reply samatha - it helped. Unfortunately it's pouring rain in New Hampshire and the kids are bouncing off the walls (last day of school break). I wondered if any pain OTCs would even work b/c it's neurological based pain, right? Yes that dizziness that makes walking a chore is so crummy. Hope the chaise helps. ~ Katie

I should probably go to bed and get a good nights sleep. I had a really good "day 22" too, which was today....I am terrified or more bad days. I know they are coming, but I just dont want to face them. Have you ladies searched this message board for all the information you can find? Some of the 'titles' may seem like they are of no interest to you, but sometimes we, well I do, get off course, or off subject and may have something there that may help you. The only kind thing I know to say, is to believe in those who are moving on with their lives who have been right where we are now. We have to believe we will be there too. You have my word that you are being prayed for through out the day. I dont pray for myself without praying for all of you who are dealing with this. I am anxious to find out what kind of day I will have on day 26. :roll: Maybe I should not worry about that at all and know that I will be ok, no matter what kind of day I have. Greybeard had a great idea for calming down on another thread. Very good insight and it does work!

I'm doing much better today (I think). Reading all these posts have made me feel much better. On Sunday I started crying and shaking and my idiot boyfriend had the nerve to ask what was wrong. He thinks I'm crazy. But he had to go to the doctor yesterday (we go to the same one) and he mentioned to her the problems I was having and she explained to him how addictive this stuff was and how he can expect for me to have problems for months. Now he is supportive and doesn't think I'm crazy so I'm thankful for her (even though I want to run her down with my car for putting me on this in the first place).
