Why prolong taking the Cymbalta? If the side effects are horrible while going through withdrawal, and they typically are, then why not just stop and use the Prozac to get you through it? I know first hand just how insidious a drug Cymbalta is. Yes, one can feel fine for a day or so and then, bam, out of the blue the symptoms are back full force. It can be heartbreaking and can cause one to feel like giving up. But, please don't. I will be 8 weeks Cymbalta free as of Wednesday and I do not believe that I am feeling the short term physical/emotional effects any longer. What I am still battling with is the HBP, weight gain, and severe lymphedema. However, that is workable and because I am seeing an improvement I am feeling hopeful that that will improve, if not 100%, then close to it...with a ton of hard work.
Hang in there.
Best,
Kesta
