I was on Cymbalta for about 15 years. It helped when I first started it. I Didn’t know it was effecting me until I got off it at my request. Went off March 2025. Very difficult withdrawal probably because I was taken off in 2-3 weeks and now found out it should have been tirated for a lot longer. Before getting off it I would stay in bed anywhere from 1-5pm every day. Now I’m up by 9am at latest. Feels good to be able to function. However the worse thing is the long term effects I still have from the withdrawal of the drug. I cry everyday for any little thing. It’s terrible. The full blown emotions along with the crying. I’m basically disabled by it. I don’t socialize even less because I break down when talking to anyone. Sometimes in the store, etc because of a thought. I used to be a tough person. So this is unusual. I have very bad memory although that I’m not sure if cause was the Cymbalta. This was my experience, everyone is different.
