So I posted a few months back that I was weaning off Cymbalta. I have been off for a few months now and the withdrawal symptoms I went through were the worst thing I have ever encountered in my life. Not only did I have the brain zaps but I also had full body zaps that I didn't have until I started weening. It definately got worse when I was done weening and lasted about a month after no meds in my system. My doctor had me ween off all three meds i was on at once. She was very hesitant to ween me period telling me I really needed these meds and I could fall back into my depression. But I stood my ground and pushed the ween. I took the Omega three pills and the vitamin B pills that was recommended here and drank LOTS of Arizona Green tea with Ginseng. That seemed to help alot for some reason. I now feel better then I have in the 12 years I've been on meds. I'm not in a fog and can think clearly and make decisions without second guessing myself. And I have feelings instead of feeling numb all the time. It definately is not fun going through the withdrawal symptoms and feeling sick everyday. Seemes like there was no end to it but there is. Just takes time. So many times it would have been easier to just take the pills and get rid of those fellings but i stood strong and trudged through my days. Missed work alot because of it. I will never go back on meds again no matter what the problem is. I'll find other ways to deal with my issues med free. Good luck to all of you and thank you for your suggestions that got me through this.
Done with meds forever!!!!
