HELP!! Four days ago I went to my doctor (AGAIN) complaining that Cymbalta was no longer working. I have been taking it since it came out on the market but have not been happy with it since about two weeks after I started taking it. Now that the doctor has finally decided that maybe I am right, and maybe I do know my body best (GASP!), he has decided to switch me from Cymbalta 60mg to Wellbutrin XL 150mg. No step down, no lower dosages, no week off in between, just one day I took Cymbalta and the next I took Wellbutrin. Now I feel like I am losing my mind. My face feels like it is "asleep" because it is numb and tingling, I am terribly dizzy, and I am EXTREMELY angered by the smallest thing. Is this all because of "withdrawal" from Cymbalta or is part of it from the new med Wellbutrin? How do I tell which symptoms are which? And, for God's sake, when will these symptoms quit? Think I would rather feel "crazy" or "depressed" every day for the rest of my life than feel like this.
