I've been on cymbalta since september. I take 120 mg a day. Going on it was hell. I threw up and had headaches. Also I was so tired I couldn't do anything. Around Thanksgiving I started to improve energy and depression-wise and at points would have enough energy to be dancing. Of course, it only lasted a couple of weeks.
Now it's March and I'm on 450 MG of Wellbutrin along with the cymbalta. The depression improved a little with the addition of the Wellbutrin but I am still so fatigued that it is hard for me to function.
Here are my questions:
Has anyone had a return of fatigue from cymbalta after it stopped working?
And has anyone had withdrawal symptoms when they stopped taking it gradually? I suffered greatly going off effexor and lexapro, and am a little nervous to stop cymbalta. Also, going on it was so rough that I would like to be sure it's not going to work before I stop taking it.
Thanks
