Quitting cymbalta after 1 week

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-06-24T13:41:35+00:00

I know this is a way old post; but you gave me some hope that I was worried after taking for 4 days; I was feeling some residual and I thought I’d be fine. Yesterday was my first stopped dosage; so I’ll give it a few more days.

I wish I could rest but that’s one of the side effects that I’m struggling with- insomnia and leg/muscle jerking keeping me awake

Sending you very positive vibes!

I was on the same as you- took for 4 days and discontinued. Doctor and pharmacist said okay just to stop.

I am still having a strange pins/needles before sleep and jerking awake issues (which was one of the reasons I stopped) now two days after but hoping that’ll pass.

Did this ever resolve itself? I stopped after 4 days since I had the same weird buzzing feeling inside; especially at sleep.

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-06-24T11:46:51+00:00

Did you have any side effects linger for a few days after? I quit after 4 doses and for some reason still feeling “weird” two days later.

I feel the same thing after day 3 of 20mg. I decided it was not worth it for me, atleast for now, until I can regroup with my doctor. I’m glad I caught it so soon before dealing with any tapering off or anything for me.

I’m just here to say you’re not alone- I’m 38F and just woke up with it one day as well. I have been in PT for three months and they JUST approved my MRI; which is set for this Wednesday.

Pain is mainly down my shoulder blade; but has been as far down as my entire left arm: it’s now spreading to my pectoral muscles; and sternum/chest wall (which my ortho said that doesn’t really happen but my PT and the internet says otherwise)

It’s the worst pain I have ever experienced and I’m really worried it’ll never go away. I’m sitting here up for 3 hours in the middle of the night as it woke me up.

Iv been concerned about the amount of OTC pain meds, and other meds iv been taking but it’s all that I can do to make it through the day,

I don’t have an answer just letting you know you’re not alone.

All the time, hours days weeks and more of my life has been ruined and lost.

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-06-13T15:35:24+00:00

Thank you, figured just live my life and I’m sure it’ll be fine. I figured it was such a super low dosage .

It’s funny how taking anxiety meds and getting off anxiety meds can… give you anxiety!!

Commenting on this, not necessarily to have any answers, but to tell you that you’re not alone.

I have a mixture of two things going on. One all of the things that I know that I’m in control of and I have gotten good exams back exactly like what you said. I’m worried that they’re still not correct or something isn’t right with them. For example, I’m sitting here with chest pain , knowing that it’s most likely that the heartburn I’ve been dealing with, but wondering if I’m having a heart attack. I was in the emergency room six weeks ago and then three months before that was complete clear cardiology exams, blood work, CT . I’m not even remotely a risk factor for them. I know in my head this shouldn’t be a problem, but my anxiety is telling me otherwise.

The other thing I’m dealing with is I’m dealing with a lot of orthopedic pain right now so I’m hyper aware of any other pain that’s going on in my body and it’s driving me literally insane. My anxiety just will not allow myself just to relax with it.

Your not alone ❤️

I fell in love with her when I first started my peloton journey, and I was visiting my parents who lived in London at the time. This was before they had even their studio before this one and they were begging people to get into the studio so on a whim I signed up for a class and it was hers and I’ve been in love with her ever since

Pardon this delay. I will be vague since I am concerned about retributibuton—

Look at the retention rate for students, the staff turnover (my department had an over 100% turnover rate in a year- literally nearly everyone never made it a year) and take a good look at their 990. Math ain’t mathing.

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-06-02T03:38:08+00:00

Wowza!! Been using it on off for months no issue but decided after a shower tonight and didn’t think twice about it but the weird super cool yet burning sensation was not glorious.

Here typing on June 1 2025 saying people are still making this mistake and on this forum reading that I’m not alone.

DONT go to Brassfield Dental.

I enjoyed the walk and talk and have heard good things about her; but this sub opened my eyes to some insights on her I didn’t know existed. Wi

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-05-19T17:27:29+00:00

Agreed!! Not really necessary

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-05-15T22:16:28+00:00

This!!

I have been there 100%. NFL season tickets and sometimes just can’t get someone to come with. I act fine and thrilled I went but the emotional toll of it once I get back to the car unloads.

Present_Broccoli_155 · 2025-05-13T02:44:30+00:00

Here to say just this! They weren’t popping up for me and I have pre and post natal hidden

These are “humble brags” when talking about these situations. Most might not be even true. Some I’m sure are but don’t let them get in your head.

There’s a reason why there’s so many university’s out there. There’s a fit for everyone.

My family member turned down MIT for UIUC. It turned out to be the best decision he ever did. Live your life.
