I am on day 16 cold turkey from Cymbalta. It has been HELL! on day 9 I flushed what I had left down the toilet and I have no refills. I will never put that poison back in my body! I was given Cymbalta almost 2 years ago for lower back pain.I regret the day I agreed to take the first dose. It turned my world upside down,it turned me into someone I have never been and I was not depressed when I started taking it but, I sure ended up depressed while taking it. I can't get in to the a doctor until, next week and the doctor that prescribed this poison to me is no where to be found so I made this decision on my own.I decided there was no-one to help me so I had to help myself.Supplements and prayer have been my saving Grace! I am far from where I want to be but, at least I feel alive again. I feel in control of my own body and mind.The brain zaps aren't as frequent now,the nausea and vomiting has subsided,I still have a terrible memory and sometimes my thoughts get jumbled but, not nearly as bad as when I was taking it.I don't sweat like I did and the anxiety isn't as bad. It's been touch and go but, I am committed to getting my life back!
