I was on Cymbalta for about 2 months last year and had to stop taking it because of unbearable itching. After I stopped (cold turkey) the itching was worse than ever. While I was taking Cymbalta, I experienced VERY DEPRESSING thoughts, and I was so tired that I started taking 2 1/2 to 3 hour naps every day. For me, my depression became worse on the drug instead of better.
After being off for about 13 months, I still have occasional brain zaps. I wouldn't advise going off cold turkey like I did, but I couldn't bear the itching! Also, I am having a very hard time taking off the 20 lb. I gained.
Good luck to all in getting off this horrible drug. Don't give up.
