Hello,
I just "quit" taking Cymbalta after being on for 6 mos. I started with a 20mg dosage, was moved up to a 40mg dosage, then back down to 20mg's about 2 mos ago. My physician told me that it wouldn't make sense to gradually get off of Cymbalta and to just stop taking it all together. I am now dealing with the withdrawal symptoms, which really alter my well-being. However, i chose to stop taking this med because i realized that depression can be cured by other more natural means. I feel like a science experiment right now, but I know it will subside eventually. I am really glad i found this thread, it has helped me deal with the w/d symptons. Especially Vijoy as he wrote previously that "you can do it you gotta have faith and remember, for whatever reason youve stopped the cymbalta, you have to believe that you dont need this crutch anymore." Amen to that. Amat Victoria Curam - "There is no victory before pain." Stick with it everyone, we were meant to be mentally and physically strong, lets not submit ourselves to weakness.
GOD Bless
