Some resolution to the withdrawal problem
If anyone's been following my personal journal, you know that I've been experiencing horrible withdrawal symptoms from the sudden stop of Cymbalta as per my pdoc's orders. I've had to cancel yesterday's and today's classes because life has been hell. Well, he finally returned my messages just now.
I think I need to find a new psychiatrist, because he told me that he's never heard of someone experiencing withdrawal symptoms from Cymbalta even though crazymeds.org says that the withdrawal from Cymbalta is second only to Effexor in terms of nastiness.
So, the plan is to gently wean myself off. Shocker! Take 30 mg each day for the rest of the week, then try 30 mg every other day next week, then 30 mg every 3 days the week after that.
My hubby hid the bottles of Cymbalta on me, so I have to wait for him to get home.
