> KParis, I'm interested in hearing if you've had any withdrawal symptoms yet. I believe you've been off for 5 days now? Please update us if you have a moment. Hope all is well. Thanks.


I put a posting on yesterday:
I'll tell you what. I'm just under 48 hours of stopping the Cymbalta and I am having a rough time. Man! For someone who is usually so happy I feel like crap, strange, hollow and full all at the same time. My head doesn't seem to belong to me...I'm sad, angry, dizzy, blocked, nauseated, tingling, bloated, heavy-hearted, teary, leg cramps, just plain awful...not to mention the dreams...too strange. How long does this usually last? I mean the really bad withdrawal? HELP! I will never put Cymbalta into my body again.

Today I feel better...some. I had a rough night last night and had to sleep sitting up on the couch as when I would lay in bed I would wake from what felt like not breathing, swollowing my tongue, dreams!! This AM I was okay for a little while then the tears came. I went to see my pharmasist and we had a chat about Cymbalta. He does not like the drug, feels it is over rated, has been promoted as a wonder drug and is extremely over prescribed. He has seen people who have gained weight with this drug lose it after stopping. I'm hoping. I went home and began building our house with my husband in the 85 degree weather, drank lots of water (I don't like the sun/heat) and bought lots of fruit and veggies to eat. I'm afraid to go to bed...perhaps that is why I'm going on. I apologize for that.

I truly appreciate you asking about how I'm doing. It make me feel less alone!

Tomorrow will be better. I'm going to look at a puppy. I've got to keep the positive going. I'm glad I took the week off of work!
