Tapering.. was a zombie!!
I’ve been on Cymbalta for a total of about 5-6 years. I’m in the process of tapering, which is a long and slow process. On my full dose of 120mg I was a Zombie!! I’d sleep 10-16 hours a day, no energy, lack of feelings, and all the horrible side effects of an antidepressant. I decided I’d stop taking it because I realized the meds were not helping my depression only making it worse. So I started coming off the meds slowly and regained so much of what I was missing. I suffer with insomnia but now when I do sleep it’s kinda normal not the 10-16 hours like before. I do and don’t have feelings, They are really strong or non existent, i feel numb inside with a lot of situations, I can remember things, I can have conversations and not forget mid sentence what I was saying and an actual sex drive. But my confusion now is that I’ve become angry and I just feel the need to speak my mind all the time.
