Ahhh, the gist (Cymbalta) that keeps on giving.
It will fade with time. Slowly.

Is it normal to get bouts of acute like symptoms? I havent had symptoms like this in a couple months. Just when you think you've gotten out of the worst of it, it drags you back in.

I haven't had the night vision problems in a long time. Is this something I should worry about?

Just like everything appears more dark and blurry. I dropped 1 bead yesterday out of like 100 and not sure if it's coincidence but I feel worse today than I have in a long time. Feeling absolutely sick and miserable. Could it be just from dropping the 1 bead already or probably something else?

I took an antacid 300mg calcium carbonate shortly after my pill. Do you think that would have an interaction? Also, my back pain has been terrible and comes and goes. Is that a common symptom with WD?

Absolutely - calcium carbonate is hugely absorbent and will have affected the level of effective med that got into your system. You should never take this stuff within a clear hour of any other meds, vitamins, supplement etc.

Crap. So my heart rate is 106 right now resting and I'm fairly young. Normally it's in the 60's. I'm also having the worst lower back pain of my life. Do u think it's from the meds being affected or can my HR be jacked from the pain?

The "time of the month" also factors into symptoms of withdrawal as frequently evidenced by many a user here.
Not wanting details of your "cycle" (!), but just another variable for you to consider

Ya but it's not that time for me right now and I haven't noticed much of a difference when I am.
Do you think it would be ok if I took some tylenol?

No problems with pain killers as a rule... in moderation of course...

Thanks. Ya the tylenol doesn't seem to affect me. So it's odd. Even when my pain is better my heart rate is still through the roof when I am standing up. Its fine when I'm lying down though. I wonder if this can be pain or I've heard some people say they get POTS as a symptom of WD. When I'm lying down my HR is about 66bpm and about 100 when I stand up. That's very unusual for me and its scary.

Have you guys heard of people getting POTS in the later stages of WD?

From our new eBook!!
"Patients suffering from an orthostatic condition known as POTS (postural
tachycardia syndrome) usually are suffering from the worst cases of chronic
adrenergic state and typically exhibit exercise intolerance, cognitive difficulties, sleep
problems, palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, tremors, labored breathing and even
syncope. The “dizziness” upon standing is not only associated with fluids simply
flowing away from the brain upon standing but the patient actually suffers from an
increase in heart rate (tachycardia) due to the hyperadrenergic state. The
subsequent drop in blood pressure is due to the lack of oxygen from blood alkalosis
(Bohr’s effect), vasoconstriction and reduced blood output from the enlarged atrium."

Thanks guys. I dont get dizziness though, just a higher heart rate.
I dropped 1 bead out of about 100 a few days ago. I'm getting twitches which is never a good sign for me. Do you think this could affect me much dropping about 1%? I wanted to drop 2 beads over the next little while because it would make it much easier for my measurements. I would never think dropping 1 bead would give me symptoms. I'm away for a few days and cant go back up. Should I go back up when I'm back? I dont want to make my withdrawal any worse.
I'm also really worried that I'll never stabilize. Like dropping last year sent me on a never ending withdrawal syndrome.

Agree with Hat. There are too many factors that could be causing symptoms at any one given time. Could be something to do with the fact that you are away?
Check back with us when you are back to see how you are...

Hey guys. So I have a tidbit of good news. The last 5 days I've been feeling better than I have in a year. I still have fatigue but mentally and physically I feel pretty darn good! Last night I even had a sugar laden cupcake and I felt completely fine afterwards. I know how withdrawal works all too well so it's way too soon to tell but perhaps things are starting to turn around for me. I don't know how I would have made it the last 6 months without you guys.
