Cymbalta Withdrawls
Hi I am trying to ween myself from 30 mg of Cymbalta for post partum depression and just found out I was pregnant! So I am going cold turkey. I know you are not supposed to but the birth defects risk are nuts! I wish I had never been put on this hellish med. The withdrawals are horrid! I get brain shakes, numbness, nausea (in addition to my morning sickness) dizziness, and feel anxious, I feel like my heart skips beats.....it is AWFUL! I hope that I can shake off the side effects soon. I have heard that Benadryl helps with the w/d but it does make you sleepy and I can't take it because I am pregnant. Sigh....just have to hang in there for the baby's sake. I am sure you should ask your doctor first before going off these types of meds, and if I wasn't pregnant I would but I just don't want to take the risk! Good luck to anyone who is suffering, I feel your pain! :praying
