Is this for real? Been on Cymbalta 60 Mg for a little over a year....didnt even need it, but during a situational depression you are DESPERATE to feel better and I had NO clue what this drug would do....the withdrawal symptoms and the bizzare feeling while your on it.
While on it: SWEATY SWEATY SWEATY, NO sex drive, dizzy, eyesite not 100%, Tired 24/7, gained 25 pounds...Im 5'6 started cymbalta weighing 113 now weigh 143!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, thats 30 LBS...AWESOME!! I eat healthy, exercise, and still look like a added a tire around my belly.......
When I Stop cold turkey, literally by that 1st night.......Shakey, Headache, Crying, Anger, Depression, Anxiety...PANIC....2nd day, MIGRAINE.....sense of Hoplessness......So, on my own I decided to taper off until I met with MD to give me exact directions...I cut from 60 to 30mg for past 3 weeks....Been okay, just a little weird feeling in my head....as if I move my head and it takes my site a few to catch up....other than that, not bad. So I went to Psych yesterday and he DENIED any withdrawal symptoms....said there are none...I told him he needs to research withdrawal for Cymbalta, he also told me he didnt know how I should wean off it....needless tos ay I got a prescription for 20mg lowest dose they have.....and I put a call in to the head of the practice to try to get a real tapering instruction, or to at least voice my DISGUST! So needless to say I am TERRIFIED to let go of the 20mg when i start that in fear of feeling what all talks about....brain zaps, etc........I dont know if I take the 20 mg for a month and then every other day, and then every 3 days if that will help? Is ther ANYONE who tapered SUCCESSFULLY????????????? And how long till My nice belly comes back?????:mad:
