Hi Avalon,
It is so frustrating to have a doc tell you that it's "all in your head." Here we are trying to feel better and we only end up feeling worse because they are telling us we're not really feeling like what we are feeling because they never heard of it.
I hope you do well stopping your Cymbalta. It is so very hard but having the strength to say that you are not going to put that poison into your body is a wonderful and brave thing to do.
I'm feeling horrible. Fortunately, my psychiatrist, GP, and pharmasist are all very supportative. I am feeling worthless, my kidney pain is out of this world, and the extra weight and edema is making me feel ugly and old. Time will tell. I see my GP today for kidney function tests and my psychiatrist called me yesterday and talked to me for quite awhile. She is really wonderful and said that she has much to learn about the drugs she prescribes because all she really has to go on are what the companies tell her and most importantly the feedback from her patients.
I'll let you know how I make and and I hope you do well with stopping the "evil drug."
