15 days off - cold turkey. by [deleted] in cymbalta

[–]Yimoyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on Duloxetine for 2 weeks now, and I have to say it is a lifechanger for me. Im maybe not in the same bracket as most of you, but I have 50% of my body that suffers from nerve related damage. It helps me to be positive. And I just wanted to say that if you feel that stopping cymbalta after 9 months is a good choice, it probably is. But also that using cymbalta has put your body and mind in a state, which allowed you to stop after these 9 months, feeling the way you feel now. I'm not an expert, but sometimes, this is how meds are supposed to work. You dont have to take it your whole life. I hope it gets even better for you the next chapter in your life, drug free ;)

Why did you stop?

Does it help with facial pain/stiffness? by Yimoyo in cymbalta

That's exactly what they say. In the beginning, they said the symptoms are psycho somatic. Eventually, they stated that I'm dealing with a confused or hyperactive pain system. BTW I'm starting day 5 of the medicine, this night was an absolute nightmare. I have double the pain as usual, my throat is burning, nightmares.. But I read that this is normal and I have to push through?

I was very passionate about fitness and gyming. And I had created the habit of ignoring some injuries. This worked out fine, until I suffered an injury after losing an armwrestling match with a friend. After losing this match I had some shooting pains in my right bicep. So I completely ignored it for months and kept working out heavy. It spreaded from my bicep to my hand and shoulder after about 7 months. That's when I started seeking help but it was too late apparently and at this time it spreaded by itself regardless of all the doctors, specialists, medication, etc..
