I appreciate your feedback, @42430.

Wondering if you would share a bit more about what brought you here to Connect? Are you tapering off of venlafaxine (Effexor)? If so, how is that going?

Thank you. No, I went cold turkey off Cymbalta because my primary care doc (not Psychiatrist) was concerned about harmful side effects. I wish I had learned about the side effects much earlier and the fact that I should have slowly tapered. Now I’m trying to recover from PAWS and searching files for people with similar experiences.
