Default Question for whoever can help

Hello All,
I shared 2 weeks ago that I was cutting back on my Cymbalta and Tramadol. Now I am not sure I should have cut back on both at the same time.

I have been a mess crying all the time. Arguing with people. (really not like me) The reason I cut back was because I felt like I was not really feeling anything. I couldn't tell you the last time I cried. Now I can't seem to stop.

I know that both Cymbalta and Tramadol influence Seratonin levels. I'm guessing that may be why this is happening. I am also having really bad pain now. I'm considering adding one tramadol back to what I now take which is 50mg in AM, afternoon and two at night. I will add one back in the AM because I wake up in a lot of pain.

My neuro said that he believes that it is the Cymbalta causing my emotions to be so flat.

I forgot to also say that I had IVIG Rx's last week for 2 days. I believe I still have not recovered from s/e's from the rx. Nausea, pain, my h/a finally went away today.

Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any suggestions or support for me. I am really confused on what I should do.
