So glad Steph, I have really been worried about you. I am trying to put together a support team for myself. Have heard of a number of folks who ended up in the e.r. and in the hospital during their withdrawals.

Yes, and paid dearly from going off that.

Further to my last post. I stayed on 30mg for about a month, then went to every other day for a few weeks. I am totally off now, and now it has been somewhat rough. A lot of head stuff: heavy tinnitus, if I shift my eyes just a little, I get a burst of tinnitus, and a disoriented feeling. Dizziness, driving does not feel comfortable. I get cold sweats, have squinty eyes. Also sort of like brain disarrangement, not in a mind sense. Less solid sleep, with no time and space warping dreams. I can cry, finally! And can do so with very little stimulus. LOL. I am beginning to go back and work on remembering the events that put me here in this bad place. It is very painful. I am praying I will be able to see a neurological psychologist or psychiatrist. Even though I am sort of out in the sticks, there is one here in our hospital system. Right now I have to find out if I am going to have a surgical fusion of C3-C4 (Find out Monday). Also have carpal tunnel both wrists, and they have both been acting badly recently. I can't help threatening my husband to do them both at the same time, and keep him home from work to wipe my butt. LOL, that thought totally freaks him out. Anyway, taking it slow and easy. Crock pot and oven are getting a lot of business. So is TV and a series of books called the chronicles of Ceridwen. If I could turn back time! But I will enjoy a warm January day and be thankful I have had the good fortune to come upon some violas and pansies with my meager 'egg' money, to add to my patio, so I can enjoy them for the rest of the winter. So far, very little depression. I believe this is a positive move for me. I have also met a number of other people who are involved in the same journey to become Cymbalta free, and get to know themselves again.

Please, PLEASE, don't go off cold turkey! It messes with your mind so much, it's dangerous! If you're going to stop, taper off with your doctors knowledge!

Geez, Steph, PRAYING for you!! haven't started the wean yet, but am preparing, doc is giving me various strengths to taper down with. I am studying on several blogs to get a sense of the best way to go about this, and I am planning to go with a neurological psych to get through some of the mental and emotional issues I expect to face, I will taper as slowly as possible.
