It’s been hard to get a hold of my doctor as he is having a back surgery here soon. I’ve called Eli Lilly twice and their only response. Is to speak with your doctor about transitioning. They have told me no other alternatives or how to transition or wean myself off of the medication. Especially with there being Cymbalta withdrawal syndrome that is worse than any other antidepressant, I’m very surprised that they are just taking this off the market so quickly and not even notifying customers of this product or their doctors. But the FDA doesn’t require them to so they’re not breaking any laws. So it’s the consumer that is left to deal with the hell that is about to happen to myself and all those that are on this brand name medication. So many people keep saying take the generic and I have taken the generic in 2014 and 2016 and literally went into the hospital the one time And nearly the other. I would love nothing more for the generic to work, so I did not have to worry about what is going to happen in the future. I feel like my life is literally over once I run out of this medication. I don’t know how else to feel. It’s been excruciatingly hard since I found out to even get out of bed. On top of it I have a major shoulder surgery coming up tomorrow morning so it’s just trying to roll with the punches and hope to God that I get through this.
