I have posted before on other Cymbalta Threads and carefully have followed the Effexor Threads. Knowing that Cymbalta was the same type drug as Effexor only supposedly cleaner , I decided to try to taper off it. I was feeling nothing, no emotion and no desire to do anything. My agoraphobia was worse and I know I should do things,but I just don't care. Was up to 60mgs for 2 months. Cut back to 30mgs and now I'm down to about l4mg by measuring spanules in capsules. I have started to cry and I haven't been able to for over a year. Do have I guess brain zaps, dizziness, and now I am dreaming really wierd dreams. Do you think I should continue to try and get off all antidepressants? I've tried all the SSRI's and Effexor but couldn't tolerate them except Paxil at l0mg 7 years ago when I first started it. When my pdoc decided to experiment with other ones {for no reasaon it was working and I was working} when I went back on it it no longer worked. Help!
