I have been on Cymbalta for two years. In that time I've had more problems in my life than I've had not being on anything. Right now as I write this I am on my fourth day off and having a horrible time. I never thought it would be this bad. I have never been so emotional in my life. The headaches are awful and the body and brain surges are constant. I am a 29 year old stay at home mom who called her mom to come over and take care of her. There is no way anyone can describe this feeling. I just hope it doesn't last much longer. Thank you- Michele

I have always taken 1300mg of Evening Primrose Oil 2x daily for PMS. When I started withdrawal form cymbalta I added an omega 3, a multi vitamin for women, a vitamin D and calcium supplement, and zinc magnesium. I swear the supplements are really helping me. I also drink a bottle of Vitamin Water Triple XXX and at least 132oz of water. So far my symptoms have been minimal and very mangeable.
Today I started 15mg from 30. I decreased to 30 from 60 after about 3 years, and stayed at 30 for about 3 weeks. I'll see how it goes now on the 15.
Good luck and I wish you peace.

oh yeah i forgot one other symptom, the horrific nightmares. they are the worst i've ever experienced and only on the nights i dont take cymbalta. i take it at night because thats how i started, it made me sleepy during the day when i first started it so i took it at night instead. if i dont take it, man that night i have the WORST nightmares ever, ugh!

See my post above. Try some supplements and drink plenty of fluids.
Also, By taking it every 2-3 days you are essentially just putting yourself through withdrawal over and ver again. Cymbalta has about a 12 hour half life. Take the 30 everyday for a few weeks or so and then start to taper by opening the capsules and takng out micro balls week by week.
