Kathy, I'm sorry you're experiencing these things, but this post has helped me and I'm sure many others. After reading thru this I've calmed down a bit. I have to keep reminding myself that this IS normal. It sure doesn't feel normal though! I'm at 4 weeks off Cymbalta and it's been tough emotionally! The anxiety and fear is overwhelming and downright scary. I appreciate FH and 5notions thoughts and prayers. Faith is the solid base beneath my feet but I feel like that rock is in the middle of a tossing sea right now and boy am I seasick!
Hi buntbean2, I'm so sorry that you're going through this too. I'm glad that the post has helped to calm you down a bit. Like you, reading that others have been having the same symptoms as me calms me a little too. No, this sure isn't normal, and it can be frightening. It's tough physically and emotionally since we don't know what to expect or how long it's going to last. For me the anxiety has been overwhelming also. It's a crime that we weren't warned that this could happen. FH and 5notions have been very helpful as well as a few others. It's good to know that you have your faith to cling to, but I know it doesn't take all the fear away. Hang in there and I'll keep you in my prayers. Oh, and while as I was at my regular doctor last week I had an EKG and the doctor thought there was a slight abnormality too.
