I just found out I'm pregnant and my genius of a psychiatrist's brilliant suggestion is "cease any medication your on immediately". Well what a moron! I replied "uh- no, I don't think quitting Cymbalta cold turkey while I'm pregnant is a good idea". He responded with "oh- well then take 1/2 the dosage for a few days, then 1/2 of that for a few days and then quit it altogether". Um DUH! What a lacadasical approach this guy has had- and always has been this way with me. I am so annoyed with his lack of genuine concern. It's just straight LAZINESS on his part. UGH!
Anyhow- that was me venting. As everyone else has reported, I too am suffering with the constant vertigo / brain shock sensations and a general feeling of depression on top of being constantly nauseous from being in my first trimester of pregnancy. This sucks. I hate being pregnant, I hate being off Cymbalta- although I hate the fact that I was on it. It wasn't good for me anyway- it was a temporary quick-fix. Now I have to actually deal with life- and it freaking sucks right now! My last Cymbalta of approx. 15 mg was 2 days ago. I will let you know my progress later on.
