Hang in there Troy. It will get better.
I also tried different meds for 3 years and after this hellish Cymbalta (while on and going off), I have decided to take the natural route.
I did report to Lilly the unbearable withdrawal effects. I am still getting the brain zaps 2 weeks later but yes- a reduced voltage now!I hear you with feeling like you're always on different time zones. The sleep thing is weird and the bizarre and vivid dreams are disturbing.
I do finally see an end in sight now to this withdrawal. I was only on the drug 7 weeks so am surprised it was so tough to get off.
Dr. mentioned Lamictal or something?? I said no way. It will be Omega 3s, B vitamins, lots of exercise and yoga and CBT. Also, this therapist is going to try DBT on me. It sounds very promising.I like to think that if I made it most of my life without meds, I can do it again.
Best of luck to you.
