The anger only lasted me a week or two. I was the same way. I have read just about every thread here, and the consensus is that Prozac seems to really help when reducing the cymbalta and does not have side effects. I never heard of the one you are on now. Just search online for those side effects. You don't want to start up another drug that will take another couple of months to come off of again. Also, try exercising. I am a total couch potato, but vigorously running down the street (yes, it sounds funny, but I don't have the $ for equipment or gyms) got me out of the spot when I was feeling crummy. Exercise really boosts those good, natural chemicals in the body. And, hang in there! It is hell for a couple of months. At times you will feel like you are going to lose it or that you are crazy. (I know I did.)
IT DOES END! I am soooooo glad I stuck it out. I am never putting anything in my body like that again! I was done with the withdrawal completely after 3 months, and I went cold turkey. No gradual reducing or anything. Faith really helped me, too. Don't knock it til you try it. Think about it....anything is possible.
