$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$I am on day 6 of a doctor-ordered cessation of Cymbalta. At 60mg my blood pressure would not come down to normal levels. I have been taking xanax as needed, but the headaches, the crying, the bleak and abrupt depression has me desperate.
I've never felt so utterly melancholy in my life. My husband is out of town this week for business and I am afraid of being by myself with this misery. I came in to work this morning. I had the presence of mind to forgo the mascara as the tears have already accompanied my commute to work.
What can I do for this depression when I can't take an antidepressant? No anger or rage this morning. Just a wish that this will stop somehow.
Hey guys,
> I have been on 40mg Cymbalta for about 7-8months. Well over time I seemed to get worse, everything became worse for me, I felt ill mentally and physically. Not being able to think and feeling like I was moving in slow motion at times, having heavy limbs, being sedated, being irritable and just nasty and mean to people. I have been having feelings that something is just not right, you know how you know deep within yourself that something's not right and your body knows it. Well this is one of those! Something is just not right with this medication. Damn. Has anyone had side effects like these?
>
> I took just 20mg today and I don't know what the heck is going on but I feel good today. Have not had to lay down 30times like normally would have, I can think clearer, not moving in slow motion and I overall I just feel better. (I am in no way saying others should do this)I worry what tommorow may bring for me in terms of my mood and physical feelings though. What do you guys think? From what I have read on the boards here most people have experienced w/drawl symptoms hours after not taking it. Here I feel good. I will see how I feel in a few days and may add Wellbutrin. Anyone who has tapered off Cymbalta or has gone through or is on Cymbalta or anyone who can offer me some words I would love to hear from you.
