Cymbalta Online Petition: Make Cymbalta Withdrawl Symptoms Known

I just wanted to give a quick thanks to those of you that have already signed the online Cymbalta petition that I created. I have just reached a second page of signatures (it’s only 52 people but a 2nd page none the less).
For those of you that are not aware, I have started an online petition regarding Cymbalta Withdrawal Symptoms which will be forwarded to Eli Lilly. They are the pharmaceutical company that makes Cymbalta.
The purpose of this petition is to ask Eli Lilly to make the potential Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms public knowledge so that patients can make an informed decision about whether or not to start Cymbalta.
There is also some text in the online Cymbalta petition asking Eli Lilly to make sure that physicians are told by the Eli Lilly pharmaceutical reps what the potential Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms may be and the best way to taper someone off of the drug.
So for anyone out there that has not signed the online Cymbalta petition I would greatly appreciate if you do.

Going off of this medication the “directed way” has been the hardest thing physically and mentally that I have EVER been thru in my entire life. I’m on my 9th day after “tapering off” and still am in a pit of darkness. If I did have my Jesus, I would have been found in the gutter face down on day 4. I agree, the drup is poisen. I have written to my Dr to make him understand what Cymbalata withdrawal does to us…..I hope that he will take my words to heart. If I can help the Doc to not put one person on this, it will have been worth the hurt.

I was taking Cymbalta for 2-3 years, can’t remember but it was a long time, and I was reading all of this information because i wanted to get off of it. I was originally taking Lexapro but didn’t feel it was working. Well, I asked my dr how to go about getting off of Cymbalta and he said to start taking 30mg for two weeks then stop taking it. I didn’t feel that this would work since the withdrawal symptoms I had when I forgot one day were awful. So, I took it upon myself to “ween” back onto Lexapro. It was a very easy transition. I started taking only 10mg and quit taking Cymbalta right away. I flushed them right down the toilet. I am now on 5 mg of Lexapro and next week I will cut those in half.

HELP! I have tapered off Cymbalta, as directed by my doctor, and am now on my third day without a pill. I spent one hour at work this morning but the nausea and dissiness are unbearable. The world is spinning, I’m hot and cold, I cannot even hold water down… Tell me this is going to end!?!

Day three of no Cymbalta. Reduced dose as directed. Still feeling shock sensations that also come with… well.. how should I say… auditory interference? When I get the shock sensations… I HEAR THEM…
HORRIBLE MEDICATION… Worst withdrawals I’ve ever experienced — even over illegal substances that I experimented with when I was a teenager. :\

This is my 4th time trying to get off this medication…I got on it for headaches and now in worse shape than ever…anxiety,emotional,nausea and headaches worse. I also have dizziness and shock waves in head. This is my 9th day without taking any after weaning off. Symptons seem to be getting worse not better.
