I decided to go off the cymbalta..not on it for long, maybe a year?- but when my depression started to increase- I couldn't take it anymore

I have been sick for the last month..I thought food poisoning for 3 days..but now realise- Cymbalta
What a fat ass I have become- Sept 2011 I weighed 140 pounds..and now a whopping 167- Cymbalta

Since being off - the brain zaps, eye spazs, headaches and downright ass hole nature of me scares the hell out of me -Cymbalta

I cry as I type this...I am so tired of being tired and sick and mean and fuck my life....suicidal thoughts..but cant
remember long enough to attempt anything ( sick humor)

Cant sleep enough, cant smoke enough..a 1 pack a day or less smoker is now 2-3 packs a day...

Since going cold turkey about 3 weeks ago- ( not sure-cause I cant keep track of my days) LIFE IS HELL

Found this site..trying to see what works for the majority..and plan an attack on these symptoms...
Also quit taking all my pain meds..so double whammy...No insurance, No life, No sanity here..

I am not a quitter of life- But Cymbalta can go to HELL...I will fight this ..I will win
Just sorry in advance of those that feel my pain with me...I am so sorry..But I will not
be held captive of a pill any more....

Hi
Lord don't do anything rash. Have you tried supplementing with the Omega 369 liquid , it helps alot with the brain zaps and get a real good vit b supplement also magnesium at night really helps calm your nervous system. Natural ginger gravol helps alot too and it doesn't make you drugged. Maybe try some of these and hang in there things will get better.

Thanks so much..It seems as if the Omegas seem to be popular-shopping tomorrow..Too many zaps today didnt want to drive..

I have really bad days..and as bad as this is getting me down..I know there is life after this..just too impatient to get past all of this

Thanks for sharing about what may help!

I have been weaning on my own for a while. Started at 60mg a day then went to 60 every other day and did that for months. Now I take 60 every three days. I have good days and bad. I am over weight as well. I am weaning because I have been on lexapro and then cymbalta for about 5 years all together and I am really tired of being on a drug but I do realize at the time I started it was a real need for me.

The weaning is making me sick, I have bouts of sweating, feel like I have the stomach bug on certain days, get very tired to the point I can't do anything but go with it and lay down. I also feel in a fog often and that is what bothers me the most. My mind is not fresh and ready for work every day. I really have a problem working like this.

I am taking some natural supplements for the muscle pain that I have due to having fibro and it does help but I need something to help my brain function, that is my biggest issue, I can't focus.

I am not sure I could go off cold turkey and still function at all. I hope you are having a better day today!
