Good Luck & hope you get to feeling better!

Yep we sure do. I'm fighting the brain Zaps as I'm writing this. Very angry & aggressive too. I posted under another thread here all the horrible side effects I'm suffering. 8 days 'clean' & it still goes on. My dr told me 60mg Cymbalta to 30mg for 21 days, then stop. From what I gather all drs have different suggestions & nothing changes the crap you go through. It also seems it doesn't matter how long yr on these poisonous little pills either. 6 mths or 6 yrs - same experience. I'm a 2 yr guinea pig. I guess we just need to be determined not to let this sh!t beat us
Today is day 7 for me. My Doc said 60mg every 2 days for a month. Pharmacist said ok to just stop. I was on the poison for only 2 months!
You are correct in saying that we need to be determined not to let this beat us! I keep telling myself that as I go through the horrors of withdrawal. It is so helpful to know I am not alone in this.

Best of luck to you on this horrible ride and hoping you feel better with each passing day.
I agree! Ive been off of it 5 days now & I have had HORRIBLE dizziness & the feeling of being on a boat constantly still.

I too took Cymbalta for fibro but ended up with a depression that stole my life. I hope and pray you can taper and find alternative measures to treat your pain. My doctor finally admitted that after many years of prescribing Cymbalta that I was the only one still taking it!!!! My facial expression must have spoke louder than words because he couldnt look at me the rest of the visit. Next stop the pharmacy. My pharmacist said I was one of just a handful STILL taking that drug. But when I mentioned this website and the agony thousands of people were having on and withdrawing from Cymbalta he shurgged his shoulders and said it was news to him. I agree with others here who have said we are in charge of our own health......at least with this poison. I find much comfort here with others battling together because our medical community is truely letting us down.
Please update your condition......I am very worried about you. You are not alone here, koko. My prayers for you and all of us as we struggle to become 'normal' again.
**sidenote on irnwmn05's post. Wicked withdrawls after just 2 months??? That scared me to my core. What is Cymbalta and what is the long term effects to our brain function? (the commercial says "we dont know HOW Cynmbalta works....but is does". Scarey, very scarey!)
