Unintentionally quit Cymbolta 30MG COLD TURKEY

Hey there,

My medication ran out 3 days ago and I do not have coverage or money to buy more right now so I thought what harm would it do if I just stopped cold turkey (maybe start again in a couple weeks when I can afford it)
Anyway, it's day 3 and I am feeling really tired, pretty low mood, and had a creepy experience where I got super lightheaded/dizzy , numb, and thought I was going to black out- this only lasted maybe 2 minutes but I am now noticing this feeling in my head where I could lose conscienence or atleast feel dizzy again.

I was on Cymbolta for Major Depression, OCD, Anxiety, and due to my eating disorder which I'm in treatment for.

I'm just wondering if anyone has gone off this cold turkey and has any advice/ words of wisdom?

My doc does not know that I have gone off of it.

Thanks guys

Hi Shandie,

Welcome to the forum. I would get ahold of the doc and see if there are any samples that you can take to wean off or get you through until you can get some. Going cold turkey can be very hard. I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen...
