> ok signing up for this site was a major pain in the *ss but maybe it's just me since I am experiencing major side effects from Cymbalta. I have been taking it for about 3-4 weeks now and yesterday I almost fell over because of my balance. Also, I take Ambian CR at night and I knock out so bad my husband almost can't wake me up. If I have only been taking it that short of time do you think I will have major withdrawals? I am really concerned after reading this thread.

I know you posted this a few months ago but I was wondering whether/how you quit this drug & how you're doing, and what were all the side effects that made you think about quitting?
I stopped a different drug (remeron/mirtazapine) about a week ago after 3 weeks, no tapering except for 1 halved dose, and I feel like the drug is still with me, but then worry that it's just me getting worse. There is conflicting info on whether 3-4 weeks is a long enough period to require tapering & it's confusing. I reacted very badly for the 1st week and I'm wondering if that makes a difference in how the quitting goes.
