It's nearly a month since quitting Cymbalta and
- dreams have died down and are typically no longer memorable
- I have emotions. again I used to look at gore and death to try to feel something but now it's very difficult for me (like it was pre cymbalta)
- occasional headaches
- neuropathy not better, not worse without cymbalta
I think it was a good thing to try to decrease/quit that wretched drug and I have no regrets at the speed. I only tapered that quickly because every decrease in dose did not have much of an effect on me, or so I thought, until I was at zero.
Also I accidentally decreased my pregabalin intake because I kept forgetting/shutting off my alarm for my afternoon dose. At my GP visit last week my doctor told me that my weight gain could be attributed to, at least in part, to both drugs. Sitting on my ass for 2 years because of knee surgeries and recoveries tanked my metabolism and fitness.
Thanks everyone for all the info. It's very disheartening that there is so little to be done to help relieve nerve pain and I wanted to go hard on it. My neurologist was pretty casual about explaining to me that there's no fixing nerve damage and not much relief to be had.
