> I wrote on 2-11-08 when I first went off Cymbalta.I thought the head zapping would drive me insane. I'm happy to say that six weeks later there has been a great improvement. It's still happening, but not very often. So please don't give up. There is hope. I'm still depressed, but I don't have the nerve to try another antidepressant. I think Cymbalta should be taken off the market. I wrote to the FDA and told them about all the symptoms I was having. I don't know if that did any good, but it made me feel better.Don't give up hope. As time goes by it does get better. Good luck to everybody that is having a hard time coming off this poison.
Hi Scooter,I am glad to hear you are doing better.
Kudos to you for writing the FDA. It can't hurt.
As one who is tapering off of all my meds after being on them since 1995, personally, I think you are making a good decision in not trying another AD. I know that isn't the popular thing to say on this board. However, because these meds have caused extreme devastation in my life, I don't want anyone else to suffer.
Have you tried fish oil capsules? It is alot of trial and error but when you get the right doseage, I think it can be helpful.
Good luck.
