Q: i am going through real bad withdrawal from cymbalta . and was put on prozac while weening off.
I am sorry to hear that you are still having such bad withdrawal symptoms.
Have you talked with your doctor to let him or her know that you are still experiencing these symptoms and they do not seem to be improving?
If not, you might want to make that call today and find out if he or she has any suggestions on how to relieve some of your symptoms.
Let me know how you are doing.

Hey silverfox,
What you need to do is find what works and stick with it. Cymbalta is tough one to get over but it just takes time. Keep talking to your doctor.
