In reply to Cymbalta withdrawal, posted by KittyBoo288 on October 30, 2005, at 5:14:47
> I have been trying to "wean" myself off the 60mg of cymbalta I have been on for the past 8 months, like many of the posts I have read, the cymbalta worked as a crutch for a few months but then the depression re occured and I thought, why take drugs that are doing nothing for me anymore and started to wean myself off. I tried one day on, one day off but suffered with the shocks and also terrible night sweats and nightmares, I then cut down to 40mg per day, and then gradually went to 15mg. This worked well , although some days were a dazy, with shocks, nausea and severe dizzyness. I have now been 2 days without any, I have the dizzyness, shocks etc quite bad, and feel like my brain is being squeezed. Would anyone recommend I just persevere or should I go back to 15mg for a while?? I really want to be free, I was hoping I would wake up in a couple more days feeling ok??
what are the shocks?
