> I am brand new to this site, and I am so thankful to find the support. I've been on Cymbalta " The Drug From Hell" for 6 months and just started to wean off 3 weeks ago. My doctor did warn me about going off slowly and I even eye balled the amount of pellets for smaller dosages for a slower process. I have experienced all of the side effects describe and more. It has been Very helpful to know I am not alone or crazy.
> All of the dizziness, brain zaps, eye flickering, no energy, modivation or control of anger is an emotionally roller coater ride. It's enough to really think you have or are on your way to going crazy.
> I 've only been on cymbalta for 6 month, 60 mg. once a day & I am hoping this does get better very soon.
> I have never been depressed and started taking the cymbalta for chornic pain and anxiety. Now I am depressed and have more anxiety. I'll never give up and I thank everyone for all the info and support. Hopefully I can hear from some of you soon. Still Withdrawing, but not without a fight....

>>Hang in there and keep fighting. Sanity does return, but it takes time. I sometimes wish I could give a doc this medicine for a few months and then leave them hanging out to dry with the withdrawals. I have never been suicidal, but withdrawing off of this drug made me feel like that might have been a good way to handle the symptoms. I couldn't have carried it out because I didn't have an attention span longer than a gnat.
Just keep remembering how good life was and will be when you get out of this hole.
