Hi everyone. I was looking for information about the withdrawal symptoms when coming off Cymbalta because I have started weaning myself off of it, and am experiencing some evilness. I've not been on it long, but long enough to know I HATE it and it's not working for the purpose I was prescribed the medication. I suffer from anxiety, so I was taking Celexa for that, and loved it. However, I have been having some pretty bad nerve pain starting from my neck and shooting down my arm due to an injury, and my doctor thought that Cymbalta would help with that pain, so I stopped taking Celexa and am now taking Cymbalta. It's been a month now, and I HAVE to get off this!!! I was taking two capsules a day (started at one, and the anxiety and pain was still bad, so was increased to two) and in the past week in an attempt to wean myself off it, I have gone down to one.
My side effects have been dizziness, nausea, anxiety and this really hard to explain feeling in my teeth which feels like a irritating aching jittery buzzing feeling. I can't explain it really because it's so weird. But I HATE it!!! I almost feel like I'm going a little crazy. Thankfully I am off work due to the injury in my neck which will require surgery, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this issue because I feel useless! I have to lie down all the time and that alone is making me feel horrible.
Ugh.
Anyone else feel the same?
Thanks.
