i've been taking cymbalta since somewhere around march and I would like to get off of it so I can roll again but the withdrawals make me feel pretty shitty. I can not take for a few days until I feel shitty enough and have to take one. What do I do to get off of this shit? And how long will I have to be off it before I can roll. My friend says he has "the best pills in town" and you only need one but I know it wouldn't do anything to me, and I miss rolling.
I USED to be on a similar medication to Cymbalta. I told my doctor that i wanted to come off of it and she insisted that i stay on it and if i wanted to come off of it that i should gradually do so. The thing many people that dont realize is that these kind of drugs are REALLY dangerous for a persons brain. The longer that you stay on them, the more dependent your brain becomes on the chemicals. Addictive, like many other substances. When i decided that enough was enough with the medicine that i was on, i didn't exactly follow the Drs orders as it were, i gradually brought my dose down from 20mg to 15 to 10. Then instead of staying on 10 like i was recommended to do for a while, i just stopped taking them. As a result i began having serious mood swings, and depression, increased anxiety, and other negative side effects. I managed to keep these effects to a minimum through smoking a lot of bud to try and calm me, also i used opiates to try and distract myself from the frankly horrible feeling of coming off of this drug. However, i dont recommend this approach for everyone. For a while after i came off of this drug i was ALL over the place with my mood. But now months and months after i have stopped taking it, i am finally leveling out. I am not really sure if i have answered your question at all. Just sharing a slightly similar experience. Best of luck with everything both of you guys.
^^^ what he said, tlk to ur doc n let them no u wnt off n dnt just stop takeing it. lower ur dose progressively over time n dnt rush it, just as he said
Yeah mah dude drugrefernce is exactly right, the approach that i took left me with crazy mood swings and other negative side effects. The safest way is as said go to your doctor and gradually come off of it. So as far as the banging e pills you mentioned above candykid i would buy one or two and save them for a little while until you get all of the antidepressant out of your system.
im trying to quit by only taking it when i start to feel like shit and eventually i won't feel like shit from it anymore.
i think i might have quit it finally i'm not feeling like shit yet, maybe i won't have to take any more of them. how long do you have to have had quit cymbalta for you to be able to roll? I know it takes a while to completely get out of your system to where you can roll good.
