Hey guyz, im new to this forum...
So first i would like to say hi to everyone, and that it does give me some
hope to know others are going through the same...
Well i've been on 30mg of cymbalta for 5months. Which my previous Pdoc prescribed..
My main problem is GAD and some sliight panic attacks nothing to extreme...
Cymbalta didn't really do much for me! since it was a low dose (probably) and it gave me some annoying symptoms... restless legs, low libido, and on egde!!
i kept asking my pdoc that i dont wana increase my cymbalta dose coz i know the withdrawal is HELLLLL.
I changed Pdoc 2weeks ago. and he told me to stop cymbalta cold turkey and start Tianeptine straight away...
tianeptine 3*12.5mgs a day.
Welll i went through hell guyz!!! the first week was just horrible... however on week2 now, thingz are a bit better, less dizzy, no headaches, libido back. BUT
its been 2weeks on tianeptine now.. and ive experienced 2 horribbleeeee panick attacks!!
I could'nt sleep last night... i thought i was going to die, i actually got into the car comtemplating whether to go to hospital or not...
I need some help guyz.. please.. some answers...
Are these the cold turkey effects of cymbalta? or is 2weeks too much?
OR is the Tianeptine just not working??
in need of some guiding! :(
