Hello,

I took 60 mg of Cymbalta for several years. I took it for depression a side affect of RSD/CRPS. My doctor felt I was handleing full body RSD as good as anyone could and we decided to stop the medication. I have been fine without it and I went through no side affects from stopping the medication. I missed 5 days once. I went to PHilly to see Dr. Schwartzman and fogot to pack it. I was fine. Remember medications respond differently on all of us.
I wish you the best of luck.

Dear Momlovetobake and All,
It is funny that I just read this since I have been taking Cymbalta for the past 8 days and have been deathly ill from it. It has caused me severe nausea, extreme exhaustion, increased all over body pain, and I am very lithargic too. I have now decided to stop it since it is making me much much worse. I don't know how anyone could take this stuff as it has just about killed me for sure. I decided this morning that I can't live like this anymore and have to stop it. Oh, and it has kept me awake even more than normal so I haven't really slept in 8 days either. I wish you the best of luck with it. Everyone has different reactions but I know I will never take this again.
Take care,
kathy d
