I've been on Cymbalta 60mg for about a year and I'm tired of taking meds. The catalyst for stopping taking it is that I recently lost my job and the cost of the medicine is outrageous. (Buy medicine or a week's worth of groceries for my family of 4.) My doc was giving me samples, but has stopped receiving them from the drug reps.

The last time I took Cymbalta was October 24. Day 1 was no problem because I'm sure the med was still in my system to some degree. Day 2 (today) is a whole other story. Two hours after waking up the brain zaps started. Mostly a tingling in my lips and mainly when I turn my head too fast. As the day went on, slight nausea, diarrhea and extreme lethargy began. I feel like a rag doll. Like it takes effort to hold my head up. I took some Xanax which seemed to help the zapping a bit, but it didn't fully go away. Heading to bed early and thanking god tomorrow is a Saturday and I can just lay around if need be.
