Hi everyone,
I have fibromyalgia, Spinal stenosis, Severe Arthritus and Anxiety to name a few. I have been on Cybalta for over 6 Years. I just recently started taking the generic. For the last year or maybe less, I noticed that every time I ran out of my Cymbalta (60Mg.a day), between fillings I would get this Swooshing sound in my head and when I would put my feet on the floor and walk, I felt like electric shock and I would panic and fill my Medicine. I never really knew it was the CYMBALTA because I am on a lot of medicine in pain management. I recently had the Flu and was so sick I forgot to take cymbalta for about 3 days. All that I have mentioned above started right away then Back on it . Today is my first day well and I keep having weird dreams too and talking in my sleep so I googled my feelings. It came up Cymbalta Warning: Discontinuing may Have Severe withdrawls! I Freaked out after reading and called my Neuro Medical Center, talked to my Pain management Dr.'s Nurse and TOLD her that I want to be weened off. She Talked to my Dr., called back and told me to go to my pharmacy and pick up a called in script of 30mg. cymbalta and to come in Friday to see him. I have no Idea what I am about to get into, only what I feel just missing a dose! Please help with any suggestions to make this easier. I have also been having bad dreams and sleep talking. My husband hears me, and I wake from my own voice. I can remember the entire dream and he tells me what all I said and I remember it? What's happening to me? 53 Year Old Mother and Grandmother of 2. I am scared!
