You will go back to normal except that of course you will get your joint pain back. I can't believe that you did it cold turkey. Cymbalta is a dirty drug in my opinion. The worse I've ever gone off of. I went off of it because it gave me very bad anxiety in the mornings but I'm finding that all the drugs that I take have this effect on me. Anxiety is just here to stay, it has never gone away unless I take medications for it.
> I've been off Cymbalta for 9 days now, with all the symptoms everyone has described. It's horrible. My doc gave it to me about 10 months ago for joint pain, which it helped, but the insomnia and vivid dreams were getting worse, so I took myself off without consulting my MD.
