> Anyone experience weight gain after stopping cymbalta?
Ugh. I'm starting Remeron whilst tapering off of Cymbalta. I'm ravenous all the time! And I worked so hard to lose this weight, too. I swear I can see the returning pounds bloom on my belly by the hour :-(
The head zaps are kind of entertaining if you think of them as feeling your brain in action. It feels like a manual car transmission that's misfiring.
The irritability is horrible. It's so hard to keep my mouth shut and not stick my foot in it instead! I find that putting on my iPod and dancing around helps to take my mind off how awful I'm feeling. And yesterday when I was struck down on the sofa feeling utterly incapable of any movement, I insisted my husband haul me up by my arms and tell me to get my *ss in gear. In the nicest possible way, of course. Like, "Please, dear, could you get your darling if growing *ss in gear so I can sit on the sofa for a change?" I must say, he got out of the way pretty quickly when I lunged for him in reply.
A cattle prod would come in handy right now, too.
One foot in front of the other, though, right? Trudge, trudge, trudge...
