I've had to miss several doses of my Cymbalta in the past, so I KNOW the withdrawal symptoms are awful. My psychiatrist has tried to space everything out so that I can dose down with *hopefully* as little discomfort as possible, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice for dealing with symptoms while getting off of Cymbalta? I usually just deal with feeling crappy, but maybe someone else knows a better way lol
Also, anyone here been on Pristiq with any good luck? I've been on Lexapro, Trintillex, Wellbutrin, and Cymbalta. I had the best luck with Cymbalta, but it has stopped working, so we're on to the next one. I haven't started it yet and am wondering what I can expect, good or bad ~ __________________ ~ Dissociative Identity Disorder ~ Complex-PTSD ~ Major Depressive Disorder ~ Generalized Anxiety Disorder ~ ADHD ~ (traits of) OCD Cymbalta 120mgs, Abilify 5mgs, Prazosin 8mgs

I started Prestiq last August and it really helped my anxiety. There aren't any side effects except I've heard it can make you manic. I haven't had that issue. Also coming off it is really hard.
But it made my agoraphobia a ton better so I was able to start leaving the house. My mom called it my miracle drug at one point. I've never been on cymbalta though. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |
