Good morning Helen my cousin finally passed away after several years a very terrible experience sorry to say. It just proves that not all Healthcare professionals especially Primary Care people are up to speed with withdrawal from ssris. You would think that everyone would have heard slow withdrawal is the order of the day by now but it's not. He was on Cymbalta and Lyrica together so probably the discontinuation of both drugs simultaneously had a tremendous effect on his brains ability to function going cold turkey like that. Thank you for responding
