Quitting 10 years of 60 mg Cymbalta
Posted , 6 users are following.
Have been taking this insidious drug for over ten years for pain in neck and back. Initial reaction was great. Now not so much. On March 2,2018 I quit the drug cold turkey against my doctor’s wishes. I wish I had done it sooner. Only side effects were brain zaps occurring when first going to bed, and enhanced dreaming. No nightmares. I have passed all but occasional brain zaps, and the dreams have not been unpleasant. I am 78 years old.

Drugs companies do not want to help people to withdraw from their 'products'. They are making so much profit . Cynbalta is hellish to withdraw from and a dr I read about online says that drs did not realise the dangers of cymbalta, lyrica, Neurontin and now they do that drs are unable to advise patients on how to get off these drugs. Can send u links by PM if you wish. There are lawsuits going n in the US re Lyrica, Cymbalta etc.
