Day 3, 60mg every other day.
Spacey and a little scared. Fingers tingle...Very scattered~ but I think the scattered ADHD symptoms are from the cymbalta, not the withdrawal.
Am 48- lost job while on Cymbalta. Teacher. Am job hunting. Gained 30lbs while on Cymbalta over the last two years. Haven't had too many emotions while on Cymbalta. I want to laugh, feel joy and wonder... all of those things. Is there anything exciting anymore? I want to love me again.
Oh and also- I've overdrawn my checking account, missed paying bills, over paid bills etc... The list goes on. Oh and my eye sight has really gone down hill. Far sighted.
I'm wondering if my loosing my teaching job was because of the Cybalta.
Is it true that cymbalta is on the FDAs list of the 20 most dangerous drugs?
This site is very helpful.
Thank you.
I enjoy and have gotten some good info. Houdi, don't go away. I need you!
WOOSH!

Renee,
IMHO, The 60mg step-down to 30mg. is a big jump. You might ask your Doctor about going to two 20mg. doses per day for total of 40mg. for at least 2 weeks in order to stabilize before moving down to the 30mg. dose. Maybe that way you won't feel like you've fallen off a cliff...

I am so glad you wrote this WOOSH,I was taken down from 60mg to 30mg and by day 6 I was so insane. I couldn't sleep was so hyper, having nightmares.I too have been living a life like you described, I just want to feel anything. All I have felt is fear, and anxiety, now I think I know why, it's due to my life the way it is!!!!I am so grateful that I found this site, I never would have made it without it!Debbie
