Ugh

I have been having insomnia ever since coming down off Cymbalta, so about 10 days now. A couple nights ago I had an ok night but still not great but was hopeful that it might mean an end in sight.

So last night our cat died and I ended up waking up a lot last night with nightmares and such. Today besides barely staying awake I have been having nausea, headaches and dizziness from the new med I am starting. Just can't seem to catch a break right now.

Hello Crook32: I'm sorry to hear you're having such difficulty coming off Cymbalta. I'm on Cymbalta (generic variety.) I've been on it for going on 3 years I would guess. A couple of times, I've forgotten to take my daily dosage (120 mg.) It doesn't seem to bother me that day. But that night, "I go to the movies", my dreams are so vivid & seemingly long lasting. Then, the next morning I'm just wiped out, nauseous & headachy. So I can imagine it must be difficult to come off it completely. I'm not looking forward to the time when I will need to do so.

My condolences on the loss of your cat. Pets become so dear to us, losing one can be a traumatic event. Will you get another one? There certainly are many who need loving homes. We've always had dogs. And each time we've lost one, we've thought we would never find another one as good. But, somehow, another one just always seems to come along. My best wishes to you!

We won't get another one right now. We still have two left. The hardest part was trying to explain it to the kids.
