  ...Cymbalta Withdrawal Solutions I just started taking Cymbalta for severe anxiety. If you have a good relationship with your doctor, tell him/her about your side effects and worries. Glenmullen talks of a Cymbalta taper (for simple & uncomplicated withdrawal) of: 60mg - 40mg - 20mg -10mg - 0mg, with 3-5 weeks at each level.

2 weeks later started smacking my boyfriend.

You could lose your best friend, and not feel it.

Comment #222: has anyone taken generic cymbalta

  ...Was recommended by my neurologist to go on cymbalta for anxiety attacks which were coming on top of depression and migraines.

I consider suicide to end this hell everyday.

I'm a robot just going thru the motions of life.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Coordination Abnormal - A lack of normal, harmonious interaction of the parts of the body when it is in motion. This worked great til I ran out after just two weeks. I also know others on Cymbalta - great results - most have been on more than a year. The only thing that made it less scary was that it was less than in past days. I tapered the dosage for several weeks, then stopped. I stopped cymbalta cold turkey 5 days ago. Okay, so I am wondering if anyone has stopped taking cymbalta while being prescribed another medication. For example, feeling like one is going crazy but rationally knowing that it is not true. It lasted for weeks and I am still having it occasionally to this day, but not so bad.

I would sit in my chair all day long and veg.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Suicide Attempt - An unsuccessful deliberate attack on one’s own life with the intention of ending it. For me, Cymbalta has been hell to get on, (6 weeks of headaches, body aches, neck/shoulder pain, nausea, sleepiness, insomnia.

I was hitting caffeine everyday on this med.

Have quit this drug before things get worse.

  ...hello. I go to the Dr in 3 days but after reading that this medicine quits working after a period of time I don't know what to do. About a month ago I started having heart palpitations and they have continued since then. I first want to thank everyone for their comments on this board. I could not eat, sleep, take a bath, have a conversation, etc. you can before taking this very powerful drug! Having struggled with depression all my life and being diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1995 I find these posts most disconcerting as I have had a rather remarkable change for the better in my life due to Cymbalta. I just receive a rx for Cymbalta last week after an expensive and very brief visit to a psychiatrist ($250 for a 35 min visit). THe side effects were bad at first (the usual stuff, tired,nausea, flu-like sypmtoms, etc. I had plateau'd on effexor (on it for 4 years) and had been in a semi-depressive state for over a year and thought anything was better than the depressive flatline state I was in. If she had a problem she did not keep it within herself. My doctor is good and am still sticking this out with the hope that all will be well, although Im a bit frightened by these withdrawel effects I am reading about. ...

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Emotional Lability - Suddenly breaking out in laughter or crying or doing both without being able to control the outburst of emotion. The old "survivior instinct" kicked in, thank god! If any of you have any suggestions, please post or e-mail me. On a particularly stressful day I decided to try it thinking what could it hurt. Your doctor will have to examine you with the regular visits to ensure at least the first 12 weeks of the treatment. Went to an ENT doctor who was one day away from performing surgery & then at the last minute suggested TMJ, so I went to the dentist, then my internist - all insisting TMJ (stress induced I presumed). (I'm taking Cymbalta to fight depression; I've been majorly depressed since my mom died three months ago. I thought he was suppose to ask more question have me talk more about what caused me to feel the way I felt. She took care of me and called her father. Last Thursday she thought she was losing her mind and couldn't cope. My entire body felt like it was burning and tingling. in a fit of rage about what this has done to me, i missed one of my 20mg doses last week on purpose, deciding to try the cold turkey thingMISTAKE! i lost 2 days of my life to the worst vertigo and brain zaps i've experienced to date. I get totally wiped out in the morning getting ready for work,putting on make-up and blow drying hair. My mind has turned into my torture chamber, my body is my holding cell. The woman is taking a veritable cornucopia of chemical reactants and has the audacity to later post, "I think the company that makes this shit ought to be sued". The stories seem to build on themselves, getting more outlandish than the one before it. ...

  ...Well today was day 10 with no Cymbalta and I almost feel normal. Does anyone know if this has been tried on people under 18 I am now scared about her trying this. That was my only symptom and even the next day after I stopped taking it, I was fine. What is Cymbalta medication/Antidepressants I just started taking Cymbalta 2 days ago and everything I've read on this page has me scared to death. I could have stayed on Cymbalta, and felt no anger or fear. At first, I was dead set against taking it as a majority of the reviews on the message boards were extremely negative. I would beg anyone to please stay away from this drug. the commercials are just SO soothing and it seems like the perfect antidepressant. I will be switching back to Effexor this week. When I completely stopped, I was very depressed and anxious, was having "brain zaps", and was just not there mentally. Before I stopped taking this drug, I've had diarrhea, constipation, nausea, tingling in the extremities, jaw pain. The only reason I was looking was because I do sweat a lot and I was just curious as to if that was common on this drug, but I will certainly not stop taking it because I sweat. When switching to Cymbalta I had the worst depressive/anxious episode of my life, causing me to be completely out of whack, out of control of my emotions (all because my doc thought it would help my back pain). I am frightened by the weening I would need to do. The only side effects I got while on it were dizziness sometimes and an occasional brain zap (they were oddly satisfying - almost like a sneeze is). It may be my imagination, but already I feel like my mouth is rather dry all the time and my hunger pangs are already coming back. This is the 11th day I have felt this way. It has been part of a combined course of treatment for burning mouth syndrome. it's been 7 days since my first dose, i took 3 doses in total and i'm still feeling bad. I've learned the hard way to do some research before taking any new prescription. Before I went into the hospital I was sleeping virtually all day, one day I was only awake for 4 hours! The hyperhydrosis has gotten better some. The high cost of mental health is a topic that diserves much attention as well, but that will be saved for another day/forum). Cymbalta has kept that part of me in check for quite some time now. If you have children and/or pets, this is especially important, as you will have difficulty taking care of yourself, let alone your children. a week ago i was driving down the highway with my 4 yr old son in the car and i started to feel "funny" my face began tingling and started going numb.

I took so many short naps, but nothing helped.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage - Stomach and intestinal excessive internal bleeding. I assume that things will eventually get back to normal. Thank you!! I was finally prescribed Cymbalta by a psychiatrist. All the comments I've read though have me really concerned. I've been taking Cymbalta for about 8 months now. I say this only because I found out today that my MD has recommended that I get off Lexapro 10mg/day (which caused severe nausea) and move to Cymbalta at a starting dosage of 60mg/day for anxiety. My doc started me out at 30mg then after one week upped it to 60mg. Stop taking it! ...

  ...I still get very tired in the afternoon. So I'm wondering if this lower abdomen pain is from the Cymbalta. Monday morning, and I've made my calls to my Psy. Before I fell asleep I started "buzzing" in my arms and legs like electric shocks. I can't exercise anymore due to the dizziness and vertigo. I also take Klonopin for panic disorder. I just want to say my daugher is still experiencing moods of feeling insane amd chronic back pain.

Everything you mentioned I have experienced.

I still have dry mouth, and sweat quite a bit.

At the same time my friend started it as well.

I understand that you can just switch on SSRIs.

  ...I have been taking Cymbalta for about one year - 60mg/day - along with Wellbutrin 200mg/day. desperate to try anything, i started with 30mg for a week and up to 60mg since then. Made me extremely tired especially more while weaning off lexapro with the combination of the two drugs.

I had trouble sleeping but not with the 20mg.

  ...I was put on Cymbalta 2 1/2 months ago for severe depression.

After 2 weeks on this drug, the pain is gone.

Guess you just need to find what's right for you.

  ...I blame myself for not doing my homework BEFORE starting Cymbalta - so I am as responsible for taking it - I cannot give all the blame to someone else, even my doctor. I asked to leave work early and went to see this doctor. I don't think I'd ever had an anxiety attack before this medication. After feeling as sick as I do, and then reading all these previous posts, I wont be taking cymbalta at all. So I take Loperamide/Immodium daily to counteract, and it works fine if I stay away from fiber. She took those seriously and admitted that other patients have been reporting the same symptoms . I realized that they were struggling to adjust to changes in light as well. I am on a diet plan as I am currently about 75 pounds overweight. I fear the damage will be permanent and pray every day it will stop. There are over 150 symptoms including eating binges, behavioral changes, moodiness, irritability, fatigue, fluid retention, breast tenderness, headaches, bloating, anxiety, and depression. Drug-wise, what has worked well for her is killer for me and vice versa.

I will keep you posted on going cold turkey.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Diarrhea - Unusually frequent and excessive, runny bowel movements that may result in severe dehydration and shock. I feel nervous everyday, numb, confused, angry, all negative emotions. I am SO tired of being SO tired!!!! I hate sleeping all the time. So he played with doses, brands, combinations at one point, I was on paxil, xanax, ativan, ambien,restoril AND klonopin (very high dose of klonopin 5mg nightly)! I finally realized after speaking with a nurse who is a friend what a mess I'd gotten into. I really wish they would take this crap off of the market or put better warnings on it and not give it out so freely. However, this chemical demon that nobody warned me about is killing me inside. DO NOT go off CYMBALTA without your PHYSICIAN knowing about it. ...

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Forgetfulness - Unable to remember what one ordinarily would remember. Cymbalta (duloxetine), like Effexor (venlafaxine) is an SNRI, so the nearest recommendations for switching would probably be those for venlafaxine. Within 3 days, nausea was overwhelming, but the scariest part was that I had such head pains, burning from the head, through my palate and throst, as well as throughout my entire body. help!i only took cymbalta for 3 weeks then i quit cold turkey,felt great for 3 days & then the worst hell i have been through started flu like symptoms,headaches,nausea,diarrea,nightmares,dizziness,fainting spells. Since then, I have had moderate insomnia. I have had severe insomnia for the last three months and cannot get a night's sleep without taking Lunesta. Before the summer of 2006, I had been going through a series of things that were upsetting me (ex boyfriend, family stuff, etc) and I was having these moods swings and it was affecting my friendship with a best friend. It feels like a quick shock starting in my head then down through the rest of my body. On one occasion I forgot to take my pills for 3 days and I literally thought I was going to die. On Friday I started taking Ibuprofen for the body aches, this helped some and also took milk thistle 3 times a day (250 mg. I haven't stoppe taking Cymbalta yet, but what people have described is what I've experienced with Wellbutrin and Effexor. I am sweaty, then I'm freezing, my skin is hot, but I feel cold. goin back to work 2morrow hope i'll cope. if I tried to get off the medication after 6 months, would that be significantly different to 12 months Thank you. I came across these posts while googling "Cymbalta side effects" and realize what is happening to me. If not, then I'm just reacting to fear, increasing my anxiety and depression. I have a wonderful husband and a large loving family but I LOVED my job as a nurse on an orthopedic/neurosurgical unit. ...

  ...I have been taking Cymbalta, 30/mg at night for 6 weeks for severe depression. I also think that any self-repecting depressed person should have a more fortified mind and stronger will than to just take a new medication for a few days and write it off as failure. Hopefully during this time you have a good therapist in addition to the psychiatrist because it is difficult. I first cut my dose in half for the first 3 weeks. I took quite awhile before deciding to stop Wellbutrin and start Cymbalta, and I've a pretty good experience with it so far. I have gone 2 or 3 days without taking it when my prescription has run out and I did have some dizzy spells, but as one person mentioned some of the side effects are a small price to pay for a better life and more patience with my children. yes there are some irritating things, i am itchy and my mouth is very tender and food doesn't taste like much. My face is numb! What is that about I am tired and I feel like I need another on just to feel normal. and the doctor just increased my dose in response. I did not know what these were from until I read all of the comments.

I don't know if I can survive this withdrawal.

  ...Should You Take Cymbalta I went to doctor due to extreme job bullying and then sudden (unjust) negative job performance evaluation and fear of being fired. since taking cymbalta i av gained 14lbs which i CANT loose no matter how hard i try,im also craving carbs & binge eating which iv neva done b4. You're Drug May Be Your Problem, by Peter Breggin, MD, and David Cohen, PhD. But I am trying to wean off of it because I want to have children. a) Prozac Backlash (side-effects), also relevant to the SNRI Cymbalta; won a medical award. I wonder what kind of withdrawls I will get from only two days of pills The bad part is I am pms-ing this weekend so I hope my husband will be forgiving if I turn into a monster! LOL have to laugh because it is almost 9pm, 13 hours after taking the second dose and I am jittery and sick like a crack addict! How am I going to sleep My throat feels swollen, my head hurts, my eyes are blurry, my heart is beating too fast and too hard for just sitting here typing. ...

  ...I have been taking Cymbalta for 5 weeks now. Following abrupt discontinuation in MDD placebo-controlled clinical trials of up to 9-weeks duration, the following symptoms occurred at a rate greater than or equal to 2% and at a significantly higher rate in Cymbalta-treated patients compared to those discontinuing from placebo: dizziness; nausea; headache; paresthesia; vomiting; irritability; and nightmare.

He ordered more blood and did blood cultures.

  ...I'm so sorry so many people have had bad experiences with Cymbalta. I will be 60 and certainly do NOT need to introduce horror into my life at this point! This new internist was loathe to prescribe more hydrocodone for me (only 5 mg she gives me, #30, no refills), but enthusiastically praised Cymbalta. Still feeling cloudy and dizzy but glad to get off of this drug!! The first three or four days on CYmbalta, and I swear to god, I felt the exact same feeling that you get just before an ecstacy dose comes on - butterflies in the stomach, an excited like feeling. It is important that you maintain a level blood sugar.

Finally started breaking up the pills to 15mg.

  ...If you google for a Cymbalta drug information sheet, then you will find the muscle cramps/twitches. The major side effect I am having from the Cymbalta is flatulence (gas) and some stomach cramping. Unfortunately, we all also have to weigh the pros and cons of all antidepressants, as they all have their pitfalls. I've switched back (on my own as I had plenty of refills left) to the Effexor, and so far so good. Ofcoarse, my doctor makes sure a cocktail of meds are provided. Cold turkey is absolutely not recommended. Unfortunately for me, I will probably need to be taking Cymbalta the rest of my life. However, these are tolerable side effects for me personally. Forgot to add: My decision is based on the unbearable side effects, a 911 into the emergency room Memorial day, that initially I thought was a major panic attack (even though I haven't had "One of those Kinds" since 1994)and the EMT's thought I was over amping on Meth( !!!!),and a suicide attempt 3 weeks ago. We've since learned that every-other-day dosing is a very bad idea due to Cymbalta's short half life. anyone else have this problem ...

  ...I have been taking Cymbalta for about 5 months. Apparently, Cymbalta has a 12 hour half-life so on the day I didn’t take the medication I was OK until bedtime. Thank you all for saving me from something horrible. Cymbalta withdrawal Malaise - The somewhat unclear feeling of discomfort you get when you start to feel sick. I am a nurse and need to be alert and in my "right mind" to care for my patients safely. nice number for a 22 year old hunh i began feeling enraged all the time,. Tired, feeling out of it, hard to describe really. but at first it actually induced anxiety and depression for me. (Prozac put her into round-the-clock somnolence whereas it was energizing for me. 5days; typical onset of withdrawal day 2-3 after every drop in dose.

I don't see my psyc until after the new year.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Dysuria - Difficult or painful urination. I feel so much better knowing I am not losing my mind. Being back on the Effexor seems to have eliminated or minimized many of the withdrawal symptoms of the Cymbalta, though I'm still unbelievably exhausted. I do have fairly good spirits right now, with the exception of my short fuse and crybabyness. Thanks for your time! I have felt more depressed, especially in the last 3 months, because of the endless sleepiness & yawning. It's 2:40 AM! After being on Cymbalta for 3 months I stopped cold turkey 6 days ago. He sent me a text message today after he got very angry for no reason, and all he wanted to do was break something or someone. The book will explain about the varying levels of withdrawal reactions, time to spend at each dose drop, the importance of half-life, gives you lists of withdrawal symptoms, tells you how and when to adapt tapering. Nothing major in side effects except some minor diarrhea. I have had most of the side affects (sleepyness, blurry vision, rush of energy) but the worse has been my dilated pupils. My husband and I decided that it might be time to try to get off the Lexapro and Wellbutrin (the mild side effects were still somewhat bothersome, like no Libido). It may/may not be connected, it could be something completely unconnected; see your GP and get it investigated ...

  ...Cymbalta's side effect for me was rt. At first, I thought wow, “this drug is greatâ€�. People who say, "Im scared" well think about the other shit you have done in life I know most of you drink and probably have done some crazy ass drug and did you say, "I dont know about taking this shot guys, Im so scared!" No, No you probaly didnt. no wonder it took so long to connect this drug to the weird array of symptoms i was exhibiting. The longer you prolong the withdrawal the more you will suffer. Previously taken Zoloft for 10+ yrs & Wellbutrin for 5. This morning, can't handle noise, and just want everything to be quiet. Before that, I had taken a low dose of Prozac for mild depression since going through early menopause at 32, and a bad divorce. I also take 3mg of Melatonin (not a drug) at bedtime to help me sleep. You are a very good person and should be happy that you have the capacity to give others hope. However, in the last year I have gone from a very fun person to someone who doesn't want interaction with anyone (not my husband or my kids), my romantic life has SUFFERED GREATLY and in turn, so has my poor husband. But, the majority still want to play the blame game and slay the drug company, physician or therapist. We're going to cautiously continue the 60mg and give it a chance. You WILL sweat more than you ever have in your life - did I mention you MUST drink lots of water - dehydration can happen easily and it makes some of the side effects much worse - like constipation. I saw my doctor yesterday and she has ceased me taking it as I feel I am literally going insane. The thought that I can't get back to the way it was before is unsettling. This is horrible and I just want it to stop, I am sick of crying because I want to feel normal I feel like I will never feel "normal" again. So today i will be goin to hopefully get a pill that will help me. To reduce the dosage, I twist open a 30 mg capsule and remove about a dozen of the time-release pellets, then re-assemble the capsule to leave just the right dose for me. This drug may not be for everyone but I definitely have benefited from it. I can't thank you enough for having a site like this. I would rather live with the MDD and anxiety than even one of the side effects you folks have described here. You don’t want to let the poops or barfing dehydrate you. this is the speed at which withdrawal hits, plus the mix of medical and psychiatric withdrawal effects. i was on five other anti dpressants before i took this. She has twice passed out and been in a coma while on this med, until it got out of her system! After the last episode, she didn't go back on it and is feeling MUCH better. Now I am just stuck with side effects and almost everything you all have described: sweat, sweat, sweat, brain zaps, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, flu-like symptoms, blurred vision, etc. I haven't seen this mentioned in a post so I was wondering if anyone has gone through this. A friend with diabetic neuropathy has been on Cymbalta for two years and it works well for him, with zero side effects. L) to bring awareness to the general population about this very dangerous drug. I got back on the drug yesterday and I feel back to "normal". Tell others the simple truth "It hurts me when you behave/speak in this way. but now i dont know what to do! please help ...

  ...No side effects, but also didn't help with pain at all. I'm all for anti-depressants, if they work. I honestly couldn't handle these symptoms. I hope there are others out there like me who have had success with Cymbalta. I am going cold turkey as it does not appear that weaning makes a difference, I figure might as well get it over with.

All I wanted to do was lay down and try to sleep.

You can get through this, one day at a time.

mildly trippy and definately visually imparred.

Even though my body was tired my brain was wired.

  ...Cymbalta withdrawal Pruritus - Extreme itching of often-undamaged skin. I have experienced loss of appetite, blurred vision, hot flashes, diarrea, stomach cramps. All the pharmas downplay not only side effects but mention nothing of major ones in many cases. Cymbalta kept me from having panic attacks, helped me sleep (too much!), and helped with anxiety. I AM SO COMPELLED TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE UNBELIEVABLE SIDE EFFECTS I HAVE HAD TO CYMBALTA. Have been treated for PTSD,chronic depression, and panic disorder since 1989. My doctor said this can be common of medicines, when it totally leaves your body, and then you start feeling symptoms. The withdrawal symptoms are not near what they were - racing/pounding heart (off/on), hot flashes, and every now and then a little "blue". I was doing just fine with very moderate scheduled doses of Percocet, and a tiny dose of Valium at night. After just a few days of cymbalta, my drowsiness during the day has increased, but what is really bothering me are painful muscle cramps - some in the larger muscles like the calf and hamstrings, but moreso and very intense in my hands, my lips,chin/jaw, my feet. The research done for med is better than most by far! Talk to your doc.
