I feel like a true junkie now. It's day 8 or 9 going cold turkey, and I broke down and filled half a month scrip. There I am in a parking lot rationing out Cymbalta beads in an old water bottle cap before meeting my husband and kids at soccer practice...what the hell? My husband sympathetically said I am looking "a little rough", so not only do I feel like an addict, I also look like one!! No more cold turkey for me. I am hoping to take 15mg for a week, then 8mg for a week, then 4...etc...could I go faster? Will I have any long term damage to my body? I am so afraid now of what I have done to myself. By the way, I was prescribed this by my Gen. Practitioner (not a Psych), so this is not his specialty, and I'd rather hear from those who have lived it. Please tell me this will all be over soon, and I can TRY to treat ME naturally, and not what Cymbalta has done.
