fed up

New here....hoping for moral support while I am struggling with nasty withdrawals. I was on Cymbals for about 8 years. Went down from 60 mg. to 30, without any problem, so asked my doctor how to wean the rest of the way off. He told me to take one every other day for a week, and then I could quit. Holy moly. That was about 2 weeks ago, and have been going through hell ever since. Dizziness, severe mood swings, can't sleep at night because I feel like there are bugs crawling on me. And, oh...

I've only been taking Cymbalta for 2 days. But after going online and seeing all of the scary withdrawal nightmares I want off this drug. Can I just quit cold turkey without all the scary side effects if it's only been 2 days? I hate to think I'd get all of those scary withdrawal symptoms after only 2 days. I'm only taking 20mg twice a day, then the doc wants to ramp me up to a higher dosage in 4 weeks. No way! I'm out! I'll find some other way. Does anyone her...

Has anyone had experience with protracted withdrawal ?.

Wondering when I will actually wake up from my personal nightmare.

How to I ask question

hi all-new to this forum- have taken 60 mg cymbalta for 6 years and it has helped with fibromyalgia pain- but have gained 25 pounds, and for that reason I want to try and wean off- any other fibro people who have come off and lost weight/had success?
