    I have been on Cymbalta for almost 5 yrs and things were ok until early last year.
    I noticed that my mood swings, and feelings of unworthiness were not only coming but my husband was telling me that I seemed to be getting more forgetful. That scared me! I didn't want to up the dose especially since I hadn't planned on staying on it even from the very beginning; but we all know how hard this S*** is to just decide not to take it anymore!!! So here I am!

We all remember what it was like. very scarey!! I am sorry you are alone BUT we are here. We are always with you in our hearts. You will make it through this. Take it easy on yourself. It is like riding a wild horse...just relax and hang on. Spoil yourself as much as you can. Anything to bring a little joy in your life.

 

God Bless

Thank you, Fishinghat! Tomorrow is my first day of getting off of Cymbalta; so we will see how it plays out. I have no one around me for a week so I figure that helps by keeping everyone out of harms way from me. :-/ I have asked my Dr for a RX for 30mg if things start really going south to maybe help a bit.

Started today ( May 24th) on the 30mg, we'll see how it goes. I am telling my friends and family that I am going off of Cymbalta and that I might need their help to get out of the funk that I may get into. Taking B-12, B-3, probiotics, staying active and drinking lots of water and eating better. I am keeping a daily record of how I do. Wish me luck!

I would strongly recommend 500 to 1000 mg of vit C per day as well.

 

Good luck and God bless
