☼ Pina: Cymbalta/Duloxetine - withdrawals after zero


Pina

Dear @Pina

 

I sympathize! At almost six years out I, too, have been experiencing some very daunting symptoms for the past 2 1/2 weeks - lightheadedness, tingling in my feet and calves, neck/shoulder muscle tension along with a marked increase in anxiety.

 

Please know you are not alone. Some of us just take longer to heal. I strive to take one day at a time and am confident that one day the nightmare of withdrawal will be over. Preferably sooner than later!

 

Eine Umarmung für dich 😊

PS Brisk walking with my dogs every day has been a godsend re alleviating my symptoms 😉
