I went off of cymbalta 5 days ago. Since then I am nauseaus, dizzy, moody. I sleep all the time as a way to try and combat the effects. I only wake up to eat a little and go to work (when I can get myself out of bed).
I never went to a psychiatrist, my regular doctor started me on celexa, and when that stopped working put me on wellbutrin (which I had a HORRIBLE allergic reaction to), and then the cymbalta.
I dropped from 60mg to 0mg, of my own accord. The Cymbalta stopped working, and I didn't see any point in taking something that doesn't work, and I'm tired of relying on the medicine. But I feel like I'm losing my mind, and my job is slowly losing patience.
I have tried benadryl, but can only take it before bed, which doesn't help when going to work. Are there any other non-drowsy OTC medicines that I can buy? I dont' have health insurance, and the Cymbalta prescription drained my savings.
Any possible help is appreciated, I am struggling to get through this withdrawal period with my job, relationship, and myself intact.
