Hi guys,
Initially when I looked at going off Cymbalta, I was inundated by information about
how hard it is, what a struggle it can be and plenty of other negative and disheartening posts. I am not saying tho isn't true for a lot, however I wanted to share my journey and give you guys some hope...
Okay so I cut down from 60mg down to 30mg. Experienced the usual brain zaps, crying for no reason etc. Then 2 weeks later, against my doctors advice to continue to take 30mg, but have it every second day, then keep lowering, I stopped completely. Now this could have been disastrous, however I feel good. I have only cried once, my sexual dis functions from taking it have returned to normal (hooray!), and I feel normal again. You guys can do it, just be positive and try not read to much of the negative stuff. Remember your mind will believe anything you tell it, and if you believe it's going to be a hard journey, it will be.
Good luck, everyone. Mel
