How are you doing now? I am almost 4 weeks off Cymbalta, after weaning for only 2 weeks!!! Had been feeling much better for the past few days, then woke up today nauseated. I would be interested to hear how you are now. Thanks.

I am absolutely fine now.. It is like I have got my life back. There are very very rare occasions when I feel a bit anxious but that's OK because I know this medicine will take atleast 6 months before getting out of your system completely. and yeah, I quit caffeine because it increased my anxiety. ..

And about you, it is very normal with cymbalta, there will be swings,,, some days you'll feel perfectly alright, other days you'll feel in hell..it is a rough ride..as far as i remember my symptoms subsided in 6 weeks ...

Moin,
I am so glad that you are all right. I feel just a bit better every day. Six months? That does seem like such a long time. Lesson learned. Thank you, and best of luck to you. Btw, do you know that there was a class action suit filed against Eli Lilly regarding C withdrawal at the end of Oct. 2012? You might want to check it out.

That's a great news for the people of America.... I don't live in US ... I used this medicine from another company, which rebranded their generic duloxetine. It would be great if the generic is banned altogether..

My last dose was almost 7 months ago. I *STILL* have withdrawal symptoms. They come in waves, with the time in between gradually increasing.
