duloxetine withdrawal

I've been on duloxetine (cymbalta) 60mg for six years now and I am coming off it in a graded way due to now being mentally stable.

What are people's experiences of withdrawal symptoms? Did body weight change at all?

Thanks for any info



There there baby, it's just text book stuff, it's in the ABC of growing up...

My experiences with duloxetine were terrible, and I found withdrawal difficult - it felt like my brain was 'zapping' all the time, a lot of nausea and dizzyness and the feeling that my brain was far too small for my skull. I think I did lose a little bit of weight, but I can't be certain as I'd entered recovery from my ED a few months before and I'd stopped weighing myself. I was on 80mg at my final dose and pretty much went down to nothing in a couple of weeks upon doctors instructions, but I know a few people who have been on duloxetine and all agree that a slower decrease helps control withdrawal a bit better.

Great to hear that you're doing better :)




Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

I've just gotten off Cymbalta and agree- dizziness and brain zaps. Don't know about weight loss- I'm struggling a lot with restrictive eating and try not to check

Captive and blind by the darkness around
Each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
Sunrise consoles at the break of dawn
