Another day closer to freedom

Another day closer to freedom

AND I would like to say that the List Your Symptoms forum has been a great help to me....everyday something new crops up and I'm finding out from the forum that its just another symptom. Today, on day 15, I am experiencing 20 different symptoms, the worse being numbness in my face and tongue, and nausea. I get hungry, eat, and regret it immediately..I had green beans tonight and I am miserable. The good news is after two weeks, the brain zaps are unnoticeable..not gone, but almost gone...

Right now my question is will these symptoms ever go away...or am I going to have to live with them. After two weeks I have every symptom I have read about on this forum except for two. The numbness really had me worried that I had a mini stroke or something. Has anyone gotten through it to the point they don't have symptoms anymore?

First of all, I just realized I misspelled deceived...I don't think that is related to going of cymbalta. :) I am new to this forum, but I found it because I was looking for confirmation that I wasn't going completely crazy. I had been on cymbalta for around 8 years. My doc put me on it as the wonder drug after prozac didn't work anymore. Two weeks ago today I quit Cymbalta cold turkey. Not sure that was wise. I had experienced the zaps before so I thought that was all I woul...

"I feel infinite."

Eli lilly were sued some years ago because a patient on Paxil went out and murdered his family.Does Eli Lilly make most of the psychotropic drugs??

Hello fellow Cymbalta sufferers, I'm new here and haven't learned the site yet but be patient with me. Of course any help is appreciated. I quit Cymbalta cold turkey on Aug.19 2012. I am completely miserable! I have been on the 30mg for around 5 years. I knew I'd have a little trouble coming off of it because when I would forget 1 dose, this evil stuff let me know it! I was calling the main side effect "brain zaps" and had not read about them anywhere before then. ...

Can't believe it was 2 months yesterday since I have taken ANY Cymbalta at all!! Feeling more like myself, still have some uneasy times, but 4 the most part, I feel better :) I wish all of you the same success that I have had, and remember...not even "just a little", that will only delay the inevitable.

Starting to feel better this week.... long road

Feeling alone

so tired and dizzy
