I have been off of it for 10 days now and I never even thought about withdrawal issues. Sure enough, Cymbalta is not a drug that you want to stop cold turkey on. I knew I should have consulted with my neurologist on this, but I just couldn’t take any more. I’m sleeping in the guest room right now because I have been sweating like a pig all night long for weeks now. That is if I actually can fall asleep. When I do it is only for a very short period of time 15-20 minutes and I have some of the most vivid non-logical dreams I have ever had, just silly stuff, not scary, not logical by any sense of the word, just odd. I feel a little paranoid about things, but I can’t tell you what I’m really paranoid about. One night I was doing research on Cymbalta withdrawal and I came across a website that listed the symptoms. I broke down and started to cry, I mean, I really broke down, I called my wife and showed her and I just cried my eyes out (Gee another great withdrawal symptom, by the way). It clearly listed what I was feeling, the paranoia, the confusion, the fatigue (well more than usual), the agitation, involuntary crying, the excessive sweating, the nightmares, and the dizziness. OMG, I’m really not nuts, it is the freaking medication. Ugh, Cymbalta, you suck.
