I have been on cymabalta for about two months. Every time I increased I felt worse. When I got about to 60 ml my condition was unbearable. My doctor determined that Cymbalta is making me worse. I am now trying to gradually get off Cymbalta but it is really rough. I have had to go to ER twice now. I have really bad convulsions in my legs arms and whole body. I shake a lot, it is difficult for me to get food or drink up to my mouth. My pain is also extremely bad. My doctor finally gave me vicodin which I am to take for a short period of time to get off it. Sometimes the pain is so bad I curl up into a ball, shaking and crying. It is hard for me to understand what other people say to me its like I'm in an alternate reality.
Has anyone else gone thru Cymabalta withdraw? If so do you have any advice or encouragment for me?
Im feeling rather depressed because I cant do much at all. I'm very scared to try a new drug like Lyrica because I don't want to relive this nightmere I'm in.View Thread
