Today is the 24th day I came off Cymbalta. I had good days and bad days, however, I am still suffering from weird symptoms:

1) Tremor/shaking: I tried my best not to take an ad-hoc Ativan to get a short relief as it gave me fatigue and headache sometime as well;
2) Very uncomfortable chest symptoms: feels like there is always sth. stuck insides my chest. I did chest X-ray exam last week and everything is fine; But everyday after lunch I want to lay down but because of the dizziness and fatigue but I can't! Because each time I lay down, I feel difficult to breathe, like gas or sth else stuck in my chest. Together with occasionally premature heart beats! I am so scared! As I mentioned in another post I did 50-hour halter exam and found my heart is OK.
3) Muscle tightness around my left chest area (heart area)
4) Headache, brain fog, fatigue, sleepy

Just don't know how long this will last!!! Hopeless!

Update: 26 days off Cymbalta

1) No.1 complaint is still the shaking/tremor together with the muscle tightness/pain around my left chest area
2) Fatigue and sleepiness. It has a weird pattern: always hit me around lunch time frame. Like today, when I was having lunch with my friends, I suddenly started to feel so so so tired and sleepy!!! I checked my blood sugar it was OK early this year. I don't think it is a blood sugar problem. Because of this damned fatigue/sleepiness happening everyday around lunch, I have to try my best do what I plan to do in the morning: check emails, housekeeping, swimming or running, etc. It is do ridiculous!
3) Headache but it is WAY the better compared to when I was on the fxxking Cymbalta!!!

Blurred vision is getting better. Stomach cramping is still there (in early morning) but it is not a big deal.

Oh come on!!! 26 days!!! Give me a sign of hope!!! I need to work!!!
