The fatigue is pretty bad too but that could be a combination of things right now.
Amantadine and l-tryptophan will be things I will look into once everything has settled down and I know what I am left with. I started medication because of anxiety and over-stimulation issues, not depression, so if that becomes a problem again I will look at my options. I feel like I've gone back a couple months in my recovery and hope that that is not the case. Next week will be better and I will get more of an understanding what's going on.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Cyclecrash,
You are right to think this perhaps. Since stopping Cymbalta I have more fatigue, headaches, a new form of tinnitus, and sure enough when I was really tired last night the lights bothered
me.
However, the Cymbalta had pushed me forwards I think, as I am working four days a week and my job involves a lot of driving as well. I am functioning a lot better now.
I also got my bloods back and they are all clear, which makes me wonder that the Cymbalta has caused the diarrhea perhaps.
