> 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.

Did you stop taking Cymbalta abruptly or did you taper? If you stopped taking it abruptly, I guess you expected a withdrawal syndrome to develop. Did your doctor tell you any of this?
