But I am so glad I've found this site!! I've been taking Cymbalta for 2.5 years. Started on 30mg then went up to 60mg, then down to 30mg about 1.5 years ago. This is the third time I've tried to wean off!! But I am going to do it this time!! Thanks to this website!
I had been taking one capsule every 36 hours, instead of every 24 hours. Then it was suggested to me by my GP (not the dr that first prescribed Cymbalta) that it may be an idea to just stop and have a really bad week (although I'm pretty sure the symptoms would have lasted longer than a week!) than prolong the weaning.... So 3 days ago I took my last Cymbalta (until tonight) and I just went from bad to worse tonight! Severe anxiety attacks, suicidal thoughts, severe nausea, crying and crying, brainzaps (didn't known they were called that until I read on here), dizzyness... This list goes on doesn't it!!??
So I ended up taking one about 1.5 hours ago and I do feel quite a bit better now, thank God!!
So thanks to you guys, I'm going to bead count!
Why the hell don't Doctors tell patients about the withdrawal symptoms!? Oh yes of course, kickbacks!! I won't be going back to that Doctor again!
