I ran out of my prescription for 60mg of Cymbalta on Monday and decided to attempt going off of it knowing that if I needed to I could get the refill at any point. Its now Thursday.... I felt fine until yesterday afternoon when I began having a terrible headache and feeling weird all around. Since then, the symptoms have varied between weird dreams, stomach pains, head pains, etc.
I put a call in to my doc but wonder if anyone has any experience with this. I was on Lexapro for a year and a half and was switched to Cymbalta bc I was having awful sexual side effects (no drive)...
Do you think I should go back on at maybe 50 mg and begin to taper the dosage... or ride this out? Does anyone know how long effects generally last if you go cold turkey. I know its not a good idea...
Thanks!
