Hello... Just writing to update. It's been two weeks now that i quit cold turkey, and I am finally doing a lot better! Once in awhile a zap through my brain when i move my head or eyes too fast, I am still pretty dizzy and have an upset stomach, but I am still fighting that with the dramamine and it seems to help. I missed a week in my college classes but I have worked very hard to catch up. I can drive, watch tv, read a book, all those things that I thought I'd never do again a week ago. I feel better then I did emotionally then when I was on cymbalta. I would never discourage someone who is depressed from getting medical help! But maybe Cymbalta is not the answer. For once in my life I feel like I am really living! I am happy and sad, and I laugh and I cry and it is wonderful!!!!! I can feel again!!!!!! I am so happy! I am keeping up with the omega-3, whey protein, cal-amo, and eating healthy. I am not completely better, but I am certainly on my way! About the skin itching... yea it sucks! My "naturalistic" doc. told me it is because your nerve endings are beginning to fire again, the cal-amo helps ALOT with that. Just wanted everyone to know that it does get better! I am proof! My prayers are with you, every single day.. You all have done something amazing that many are not strong enough to do
