> I didn't have much room on the previous post to say everything I wanted to. I had horrible withdrawl symptoms coming off Cymbalta. If I had to do it over again I would wean off slowly. I'm ok now, but it seems like it took forever. I had what I call brain zapping. That was the worst of it for me. There is hope for you, so don't give up. If I can make it through the horror anyone can. I do have a problem with depression because of chronic pain, but I personally will never take another antidepressant because of what I went through. That's just my choice. Good luck to you and hang in there. It will get better.
Scooter,
How long were you on Cymbalta before you quit?
from just about all accounts I've heard & read quitting cold turkey (and even with tapering, too) is varying degrees of awful, but most people have been on their med for longer...since I was only on mirtazapine 3 weeks I don't know what to think...I'm spacey/detached with no appetite...don't know if it's a mild form of the dizziness & nausea commonly felt in withdrawal, or just worse depression.
