In my experience, the benefits were not enough to overcome the side-effects. I'd rather just feel a bit of pain and know I'm alive than feel a bit of pain and not experience emotions, have no sex-drive at all, and really not care. Over the last couple of days, I've cried for the first time in at least 6 months! Yes, I have the negative feelings, but I have positive ones too. Sex-drive is back and that has made this withdrawl worth it to me!
Today I saw that Cymbalta commercial and got so mad! How can they do this to us? I feel like my doctor and pharmacist are so uniformed about this! Because of the irregular heart beat (at least thats what it feels like) I called the pharmacist last week asking about withdrawl symptoms (just before I found this thread!) He said they should be really mild - maybe a couple of days of disorientation but nothing to really comment on. Nice. Really uniformed!
