@jimhd @busterbrown Hi friends I just rejoined the group ,took some time off. I had Cymbalta for my fibro and I don,;t know if it would have helped me or not . The first dose I took gave me hallucinations . I remember putting a bag of groceries in the car . But when I unpacked I couldn't find them so I went of that drug real quick. Scared me cause I knew I put them in the car and I had another person said he saw me do it . So what happened to them I don't know .

Hi @lioness,

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a frightening experience with Cymbalta. It is important to remember that not all people react the same to medications. Sometimes the dosage size can be a problem as well.

I'm wondering what your doctor had to say about this.

I have been on Cymbalta a long time ago. Let's say several year ago, I was on it. Well, at first, I felt wonderful! I even told my doctor I hadn't felt better in years. Then, the longer I was on it, I was having suicidal thoughts. I quit taking it myself--no tapering, just cold turkey. I told my doctor about it and she said she didn't blame me for quitting cold turkey! I would love to have the feeling I had in the beginning of taking it! I haven't had it since!
