I am SO glad you went back, TALKED to your doc, and got off the anti-dep, which, as the poster said above, are noted for their ability to induce suicidal ideation and attempts. Weird, huh? That a med meant to make you level and normal can instead make you want to kill yourself. Quite the dichotomy.

You may feel crappy now, but the purpose for taking you off the Cymbalta was to combat this feeling. but you HAVE to give your brain and body time to adjust to going on and then off a med, especially one like that. I have found that anti-deps are the hardest to get off of psychologically, especially for people who maybe shouldn't be on them in the first place. Give it time. Please just give it time. Once the Cymbalta is out of your system you will feel much better, but it doesn't happen overnight.

This has been a long ordeal for you, but hang in there.
