I was suffering from all of the above and many more symptoms for over 4 years;I was on a regular regimen of cymbal at and xanax..whenever I stopped them everything returned;I could not take it anymore,so,I started reading and researching and found something that answered my questions and helped me a lot;I am medicine free for one year now and feel much better;it is just my case and my story and my result;but,maybe will help somebody who was like me;I gladly answer any questions;just message me and I can guide you towards the site;

I was on the lowest dose and gained weight;In my case,it had to do with feeling better;my appetite came back,my energy,all;but after awhile my weight gain stoped and I actually lost some of the gain;but the whole process of gaining-stagnation-loosing took like 1 year...

I don't think you need to be scared...I am on the same dose..took daily for 1 year,no symptoms at all in between doses(I took every day at 6 AM) and now I am wearing off it,I am at the point that I take one 30mg dose every 3rd day..I don't feel anything,I think I can even go without taking...I never experienced any zaps...it is all in your brain,if you think to much about it you will feel it;don't be scared,cymbalta helps,and you are on a low dose,so you will not feel anything!!!

I am on Cymbalta 30mg for a year now....for me,the first week was terrible,same symptoms like yours and vomiting and diarrhea also...but it all went away and feel great;I am at the point that I am taking it just every other day;I am pleased that I sweat out the first week,I was about to quit thais medicine also(after quitting 3 others in the first week due to side effects)but I decided to go with it and I am happy that I sticked with it!

I take 30mg/day for 9 months now and I feel great!the old me is back again so I am happy!the only "problem" I had with it is a little more weight gain that I wished for,but,before going on it I was in a very bad shape so..it does not really matter;and,after all,I am active again,I live a normal life,so I started getting back in shape again,little by little; after all,for me is a good drug;I don't know about withdrawal,I would hope that being in such low dose will not be bad...I am looking forward to see what other people were experiencing...I missed once a daily dose but did not feel anything different; In my opinion,we have to think POSITIVE,besides medication,which does A LOT,our own cognitive therapy,understanding of ourselves and what bothers us,helps MUCH MUCH!!!I learned that besides medication I HAVE TO CONTROL MYSELF,MY ISSUES,MY LIFE AND MY PRIORITIES! All best wishes to you and hope you will feel better soon!

I remember I had terrible pain in my legs during night time...the pain went away in a week or so and I feel wonderful ever since!hope it works for you too!

I am on 30mg for 6 months now and I feel great;no side effects...o well I got my appetite back and from being anorexic I got to gain some weight...but I am happy and give 100% every day!

I just HATE taking any medicine;I don't take anything else besides cymbalta and that was a must because I was in very bad shape;ever since on it I am glowing and very happy;I was just thinking maybe I did overcome already my issues I had and should stop it... and yes,I am afraid of withdrawals,I don't want to feel bad...

I wish you all the best too;I feel great ever since on it,I don't even know if I should stop it,my doctor said be on it for 1 year...

Hi Barebones.... I am on 30 since July and thinking of coming off it?how is this thing you did working?do you topen the capsule and take out a few beads?can you detail it for me?I had 2 friends on 30 and they came off it cold turkey with no problems whatsoever but hearing all this stories brings up the question on how should I do it?thanks

same with me;I am on 30mg daily since July and I got my life back!

I am on cymbalta and doing much better than ever;I did not start yet weening myself off it so I don't know if that would be the cause;did she check with her doctor before starting the process?many people report so many terrine side effect but I know people who stoped cold turkey and they were and are fine; she maybe just very stressed....

yeah,if you check my post I am doing good;I am on 30,I never went higher and hope not to;I am on my 3rd month and give 90% of myself on my daily life;the side effects are gone,they lasted like a week,but ever since than all is good;I have a friend who also is on the same drug,she is on 40 mg for like 5 months now and does great;another friend's mom is on 60 for about 8 months now,and after being housebound for years due to depression,the women,80 y old is driving and enjoying life;

I agree with Tim;I think is not the medicine itself doing it but us feeling better and enjoying life!!!
