Ok so i went of the cymbalta cold turkey i had only been on it at 30 mg for maybe over two months. Now i find i am having terrible fits of rage then crying up and down mood swings etc. Is this the seritonin shock I have heard about. I am taking large dosages of vitamins cause i read somewhere it really helps with withdrawl. Things got so bad today i actually smashed my cell phone into little pieces cause i couldn't controll the anger omg am i going nuts! should i quickly go back on the cymbalta? i have clonazapam that i can take and i do find it calms me down but i can't live on that all the time or i can't drive. but i also can't go out like this. please if anyone knows if this is one of the side effects or this seritonon shock stuff tell me what maybe i need to do. thanks

The brain runs out of the neurotransmitters you have been teaching it to use with Cymbalta. Vitamins, such as D, are essential for your body to make these on its own - but it won't know to make them if you don't wean yourself off it. It's no different than suddenly taking off your shoes after wearing them all your life and trying to walk on sharp gravel without them: Your skin just won't be ready for such things all at once! So you have to take it slowly.
Since the reason each of us were taking Cymbalta is slightly different, your discontinuation effects will be slightly different. The most common are like the ones I've had: Light headedness, dizziness, or a 'zapping' sensation, like you're banging your head on invisible things (without the accompanying bruise, thankfully). I've been on worse drugs, actually: Effexor would hit me like a mallet (repeatedly) if I was the least bit late in taking my dose. Some people might have phantom pains, others might have differing sex-drive, anger, short-tempers, sleepiness, wakefulness, hunger, lack of appetite, the list is long and full of contradictory things.
Just take it slow and if you think you need to hold off, do so. Remember - each time you split a pill, that's an extra day you have. So take the time.
