Has anyone found anything to take the edge off Cymbalta (Duloxetine) Discontinuation Syndrome?
Cymbalta has never worked for me but I have been on it for over five years. It hasn’t helped with my depression or my nerve pain or my fibromyalgia symptoms. But I tried once before to come off of it and it was so horrible that they decided I was suffering from Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome and I ended up back on it just to avoid that. But now it is quite likely causing me to have more frequent seizures, some thing I have started having In the past two or three years because of my MS, and could be interfering with my seizure medication and causing some other unwanted effects. There is no choice. I am down to only 30 mg per day now from 120, have been titrating off slowly for many weeks under the supervision of my doctor. And I feel completely and utterly horrible. Brains zaps, even more awful headaches and migraines than before, graphic and terrifying nightmares, I can barely stay awake just giving me the opportunity to have more nightmares, and terrible anxiety and awful intrusive thoughts when I am awake, constant nausea and dizziness… and so much more. I have almost every possible symptom. My doctor has no suggestions others than to just hang in there and hope that it goes better this time than last. But I don’t feel like I can tolerate this for much longer and I am not even completely off of it yet. Hoping for suggestions from those who have successfully come off of it. #cymbalta #duloxetine #CymbaltaWithdrawal #duloxetinewithdrawal #cymbaltadiscontinuationsyndrome
