Have those of you with PCS who have taken an SNRI found them useful? Has anyone else been on them and withdrawn from them. If so how long were you on them for?
I have been on Cymbalta since early March, firstly 30mg and now 60mg. I had a conversation with my doctor about coming off them because my symptoms are greatly reduced and I am back working long hours 3 days a week and I am about to move to 4 days. I was surprised when he said he wants me to stay on 60mg for 3 more months and then 30mg for a further 3 months. I suppose I have been off work for 5 months and he doesn't want to take any chances. I didn't want to be on Cymbalta for 8 months but I will leave it in his capable hands.
