In reply to Cymbalta and Amitriptyline withdrawl, posted by Fontaine on November 25, 2008, at 16:39:50
> Hi everyone, I just joined and am tapering off of 30 mg cymbalta (only been using a couple of months) and Amitriptyline which I am now down to 25 mg. after having used it 20 years (as much as 150 mg at one time).

> Eventhough I'm on a protocol to support tapering of whey protein, N-acetylcystein and selenium I have very weak muscles, with aches. Standing for a long time is brutal. Even more uncomfortable is at night, once I go to bed my body feels like it is burning from the inside out along my legs, spine and arms. I am constantly moving my legs to find the cool parts of the sheets to cool my legs down.

> I've been reading the posts but don't see symptoms like these.

>Sounds like withdrawel symptoms. You may have to ride this one out or up the amtriptyline until the symtoms abate and taper at a slower schedule.
