my psych put me on cymbalta for depression. I was happy at first. it made me better.

But i was aware that paranoia was setting in and eventually the cymbalta took all my feelings away. After about 2 years My psych had no idea where the fatigue was coming from. I could not work any more. I did not have bowel movements for many days. I could no shower or go outside.I was blaming myself. I nearly starved to death.

I did some research, but without the help of my psychiatrist, i discovered the main side effects happened to be fatigue and constipation. Was I on to something here. That with the fact I had no feelings. No feeling in other important places. Something had to be wrong. Could my doctor have been trying to kill me? I decided that maybe because I have no feeling in important places i should come off of cymbalta and see if i will not die.

Discontinuation syndrome: This where mania agitation rage and possible suicide attempts set in.
My doctor agreed to taper me off slowly. Thanks doctor for showing me the way. After all I am coming off a safe drug that everyone should have golly gee.

It was a pleasure to discontinuation syndrome off the medication. The brain zaps in my head. The agitation, rage, mania, suicide ideation and planning, reckless driving.
After a time my family suggested i was just crazy and should go back on it.

After about 4 weeks of discontinuation syndrome. A have no fatigue, I am have regular bowel movements and i can feel my face and important parts again. I can shower and I am able to go outside again.

I am still going through discontinuation syndrome and it may never end. I may have paranoia. I hope the paranoia goes away and i can live my life again.
