OK, what I am doing with the doctor's "blessing" (he actually said it was clever) is this...
Since I couldn't even keep down water, I let a Lorazepam (Benzodiazapine) dissolve in my mouth. I knew that would put me OUT. Then I took about 60 granules of the Cymbalta and put that on my tongue, & swallowed without fluids... Then I fell asleep.
When I woke, I felt SO MUCH BETTER, and could eat and drink.
Today, I am again having withdrawal symptoms, and took a few more granules, and now need to take a few more. I will take a "dosage" this evening. If I get too bad off, I am to take more Lorazepam.
My plan is to go down by FIVE GRANULES of Cymbalta each day.
I just cannot believe this nightmare, and I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY pharmaceutical companies are not required to warn of the WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS as part of the SIDE EFFECTS!!!
