Hi, I read this site often but I have never posted anything. I was on Paxil and couldn't get the meds refilled once, lets just say it was the worst week and half I have ever had. The dizzyness was unbearable, I really shouldn't have been driving but had too. I was angry, violent and actually told the pharmacy to f-off and called the doctor hysterical. I had a panic attack for the first time ever and wanted to die. I had to go back on something because the withdrawal was more than I could take. I started Cymbalta. I tryed to wean off in the spring but that was unsuccessful, now I am trying again. I have been pouring out some of the beads in the capsules and making my own step down plan. I was on 60mg and split that in half, I spend Sat. on the couch all day from the dizzyness and slept alot. I how am taking probably 20mg and have a headache and fatigue, I am also dizzy at times. I am trying to keep it going. I also have irritable bowel and the Cymbalta helps those symptoms. I am waiting for those problems to come back. Should I be messing with the beads in the capsules?

> i have been off cymbalta - cold turkey - for 3 days now. in the past i tried paxil due to postpartum depression. i swore i would never try anything else even remotely close to it again because of the hell i went through getting off. i want to be clean and no longer rely on the "crutch" of an antidepressant. i have only been on the cymbalta since the end of march - beginning of april 2005. stupid question - is that really long enough to have really BAD withdrawals? i've been tired - and kinda bitchy but i don't know how much of that is due to not taking the cymbalta or marital issues going on right now. i have absolutely no support from my husband - its all a pity party - and i feel like everyone is against me. i'm not really sure what to do or expect. any advice - support -anything would be greatly appreciated. i have a Rx for ativan - would it be wise to use it?
