Hi friends,
My husband thought I should write here after just having a major breakdown. The nutshell:
-39 years old
-On cymbalta for about 5 years for nerve pain from degenerative disc disease
-decided to withdrawl about 6 weeks ago from 60 mg/day bc I found the drug to no longer be effective. Was down to 15mg 5 days ago when i stopped cold turkey
-currently in a world of pain = completely discombobulated, dizzy, nauseous, sad, angry....just all f'd up + I thought I had the flu for the last 5 days but in reading some of your stories, it looks like these might just be withdrawl symptoms too
- sorry for any typos, barely have the energy to write let alone proof
!! Can anyone point me to threads or just give me the info here about any holistic aides that might help this process. I'm downing water in the hopes it will help flush out the toxins, I'm about to jump in an epsom salt bath. Anything natural that has given anyone relief?
Would really appreciate any feedback. God bless you all. . . . I'm so sorry that we're all going through this.
