Hope this is an okay place to be posting this. For some reason I can't post in the 'other drugs' forum.
So, as anyone else who's taken it will know, cymbalta or duloxitine is a hell of an addictive drug. I have never had problems stopping other antidepressants but this takes the piss. I've got to a stage where, after much trial and error, I can go two days without taking it. I was on 60mg, now on 30 and ready to quit. The withdrawal symptoms such as brain zaps, lightheadedness, nausea, sleep problems and general sickness are not nice at all to go through, but I want to quit this med. I do not have depression but suffer anxiety, for which I take clonazepam and other gabergics. What will I need to ease the worst of the withdrawal when it comes? I'm guessing tryptophan, amino acids and such but what else? Any and all help is welcome and a rough plan would be much appreciated, even better if you have had experience with this shitstorm of a med yourself. Thanks.
