Hi Shannon,
I know exactly how you feel. Since being on Cymbalta for almost 2 years, I have never slept so much in all of my life. I am always too tired to do anything. I hate Cymbalta. HATE IT! I am having a terrible day today. I have weaned myself down to less than 15mg a day. At one time I took 90mg a day. I am having just about every withdrawal symptom you can name today. It is awful. I thought that I was doing okay yesterday...today, I am not doing worth a darn.
Good luck.
Tessa

I've got the eye thing going on. I keep wanting to look in the mirror to make sure I don't look as odd as I feel. The eyeballs feel swollen and dry. And sometimes they lag, ever so slightly behind my desire to look another direction. Seems a little better today than in the past few, I'm on day 11 of cold turkey quitting.Just found this website, thankgod there's other people out there.

Sam-
What dosage did you quit cold turkey from? I have tried to go cold turkey before and wasn't successful. Kudo's to you for making to so long and I hope that it only gets better.

Hi Pam, I was originally on 60mgs and requested a lower dose of 30 mgs as the side effects on 60 were too much, so maybe it isn't considered cold turkey. I took the 30 for about a month to get through the holidays. Waste of time for me personally; but who's to know what might have been had I not? Then just stopped on Jan 3rd. Oooo, so here I am at 20 days. Physical symptoms abated for the most part, or evolving(?).I think I am being spared in some way. Although I felt some back sliding in the last two days. Thanks for the good wishes. I send them back to you.Sam-

When I quit another drug,citalopram, cold I frightened myself back to the DR which resulted in the Cymbalta. Since we are all as different as we are the same physiologically, it just seems to take a fair amount of intuition to heal(Not to mention trying to raise children and finesse a relationship with another "adult"), which btw is a big factor in my quitting. I asked myself, "How can I trust my feelings both physical and emotional if many of them are merely effects from a medication?"

I take care of my three year old granddaughter one afternoon a week, and I evidently fell asleep while we were watching a Winnie the Pooh cartoon. When I woke up, she was happily munching cat crumblies with the cats. She had cat chow breath, but other than that, seemed OK. But that kind of stuff scares me. Can't have that happening on my watch any more. She is the treasure of my life.
