It has been about 2 weeks since going cold turkey off this stuff. Yesterday, I was sure I had recovered. The world looked great and all seemed right with me. But, today is another day. I am worse than ever. I have wonderful episodes of empending doom, sadness and I am a nervous wreck. All I can say is I am so glad I haven't had the brain zaps. Please, don't let them start. I feel so bad for those of you who experience them. I have found Benadryl to be helpful but at the moment, when I go to sleep I have this feeling that I can't wake up and so I spend most of my sleep dreaming I can't open my eyes. So, if I take Benadryl I get very sleepy and very afraid to fall asleep. Hope this will pass. Have any of you had difficult relapses after feeling like you had come through the withdrawal?

Hi there, sorry to hear of your problem but I don't think after only two weeks your done with this......I have been a month and half and still have some of the emotional things associated.....Sometimes I feel like I have ongoing PMS........although it is getting better day by day. Two weeks is about the time I stopped having as many head things like dizziness, brain buzz, etc etc.....It did not just end and some days were beter than others.

Thanks for your thoughts. I know that if I ever feel normal? again I will be more careful about jumping into taking meds for my problems. A little more research on my part would probably be wise.

I also started taking this poison without enough research. I"ve tried other SSRI's and gone off them without any of the horror of :twisted: Cymbalta :twisted: . Next time my doc suggests something new, I'll definately do my homework... lesson learned.
