Hey there! I took my last pill 9 days ago and I am an emotional /physical wreck! I've been crying and laughing reading through all of your posts! I have even read some to my husband so he now understands that I'm not just making this stuff up and that there really is such a thing as "brain zaps"! The sweating, crying spells, agitation, vertigo, nausea, etc., yes it is all real and I feel so much better knowing that it's not just me. I too thought of going back to the doc and asking for more but why delay the inevitable, right? My friend actually sat me down the other night and asked me to get back on my meds because I just didn't seem to be myself lately! Gee thanks for the support, right?! I pray these nasty symtoms will end soon for all of us! Thank you all so much for sharing your stories! Good luck to everyone :>
Thank God I found you guys!

- I have been a member that you have knock off 3 times. I have withdrawn from Cymbalta and supported forum members that are in withdrawal. Find my old posts. I have pleaded with you to clean up this forum, and my thanks is you erasing me....three times! Thanks a lot! I come back here to pay forward what others did for me. You are quite disrespectful to the members of your forum that support others while you let the spammers take over! Shame on you after you started this for a good reason. Is it money now?

- having a hell of a time with my cymbalta

Keep drinking lots of water!! Keep laughing at yourself!! Its ok to cry, I'm crying right now after reading your post!!
I've been trying to eat better, smoke less, drink more water and keep busy. Whats really funny is I FINALLY feel like getting my fatass off the couch!.( I got 40 lbs as a bonus with 60mg at day) I have been organizing my house , getting the kids ready for back to school and just doing stuff. I still think ,what if I 'm doing the wrong thing what if I really need something for depression?? I wasn't depressed until we had some financial issues this past year(like most folks) well it is what it is...$$ comes $$ goes!!
I never felt like myself anymore on Cymbalta . I laugh I cry, I'm a Jewish / Italian women sliding headfirst into menopause I'm SUPPOSED to be emotionally & passionate about life, right??? LOL!
So keep your head up, laugh your ass off, cry your eyes out, then eat something yummy and get on with life. :))
Keep i n touch!

Thank you so much for making me laugh!! It was very much needed after today! It's amazing how stress will send your head spinning and eyes rolling in a million directions! I woke up feeling "Wow! I'm not dizzy!" and then "Bam! Here it comes again!" I did treat myself to an hour massage this afternoon and it was awesome, although I talked and cried to my therapist the whole time! She said to go home and soak in a bath of Epsom salt and use a salt scrub on my skin, supposedly helps get rid of nasty toxins!?! Guess I should get off the computer and give it a try, huh?! So you've been off Cymbalta since Aug 1st? It's great that you're keeping busy! I can tell you have an awesome outlook on life! :>

Well there is another thing in common islandgirl! 40 pounds and feeling like a sloth! BUT... yesterday I cleaned my kitchen till it sparkled and you could eat off the floor! I can't wait to feel good enough to take the dog out for regular walks again! Poor little guy has gotten fat too! lol
We will get there girls!! We will do it together and it will feel so good to come out the other side =)
Love to all,
Violet
