I have been on Cymbalta for a year now and I wished to God I had never started. Although it does provide relief from depression the side effects are not worth it. I have gained 30# in that year even though they say it may cause weight loss. The electrical brain surges are enough to give me an anxiety attack! I want to go off of the medication but because I have to work everyday I am fearful to do so. Word to the warning for anyone who thinks it won't happen to me...I am now eating those very words

I went off 6 days ago, it is hellish. I substituted prozac. Finally today I woke up without crying for 3 hours. This crap is worse than stopping lorazapam cold turkey. I. know from experiance too. Only hope my 14 yr. old son doesn't go thru this! Pray for my baby boy, please...
