Hello Everybody. I was so happy to find such an online community devoted to the open communication on this drug. My doctor put me on Cymbalta 11 days ago. I was hesitant but I have chronic lower back pain and I've tried many things with no success. That plus I deal with mild depression so I thought, "why not". I'm dealing with some funky side effects and now that I've educated myself I really want off this drug. I called my doctor on Friday and asked if I should I get off and she told me no. I'm planning on quitting cold turkey and I'm hoping that I won't have that bad of withdrawals. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you.
Started with 30mg/day for the first 7 days
