- Duloxetine / Cymbalta Withdrawal - Depression - Suicidal Ideation
I've been trying to get help for 7 years. I've been to many different therapists and doctors seeking help. I've tried both medical and non medical solutions. The antidepressants that I've tried have not given me any relief. I can't even remember all of them. The first one I tried was Prozac and I hated that one. I just switched to Wellbutrin but it has only been a couple weeks so it's hard to tell if it is working yet. Especially since I'm suffering from extreme withdrawals from duloxetine (cymbalta). I suffer from ADHD, depression, major depressive disorder, ocd, borderline personality disorder.

Don't ever apologize for making a mental video.... Always remember someone needs to see this, and that someone was me ❤.
thank you ❤
@@NickBorsellino and me.
And me too.....I just found your channel and I need help ........and your channel made my day
Like me
Honestly I think antidepressants fucks a person up more in the head
Oh boy
@@sg1315 Oh girl. Thanks for your contribution to the conversation and explaining what the hell you mean by “oh boy”. Do you disagree with the comment, disagree with the video, or are you excited about something? Id say the majority of us here watching a video about getting off antidepressants, probably don’t believe antidepressants have changed their life in a positive way. So you’re condescending comment makes you seem like an inexperienced, non-sympathetic, shitty, ignorant or arrogant person. Im not saying you’re any of those things but you kind of come off that way.
You made this video for people like me. I have a little anxiety and depression. Was about to take this stuff, but when i hear your experience and others just like it, there’s no way im taking it! Thanks for helping me dodge a bullet!👍
if you just have a little anxiety and depression I would steer clear of this!
Don't do it sweetie. Absolute miserable to come off...in my 2nd week of cold turkey. Hell.
Update for anyone else reading this. I’ve hit the 6 week mark. And I’m me again. I did have to go to emergency room for severe insomnia. They prescribed Lunesta for 1 week only ! Just to get my sleep back on track and let the mind and body heal. Cannabis didn’t help so stay away from it. I thought it did but it ended up making it worse after a week. So it’s true it’s takes 6 weeks to get your brain to heal back to its normal self. All symptoms are gone. I’m actually sleeping 10 hours a night and have no complaints. Also quit all caffeine in the process. I’m a coffee and soda addict and I never really thought about the affects it can have on the body and mind. It’s helped out hugeeee. Good luck guys and hold on and stay strong 💪🏻 God bless
Thank you for sharing your experience! I used to have a bad caffeine problem too. Now I drink half caffeine coffee and limit it to 1 or 2 cups per day. I've gone long stretches with no caffeine before. I think over a year once. It was great. I wish you all the best on your journey! 🖤
Hi thank You for sharing your experience I’m older hitting menopause and the death of my mother hit me really hard but doing a lot relaxation and walking 🚶♀️ is the key yes go for evening walks and you will see and feel the difference and I do have a lot medical problems and back I rather go natural herbs! Take care
Gina...thank you for HOPE - that I can be ME again. 🙏
Pheww, the insomnia is real! I normally cant continue living without sleeping 7-8 hrs a day. Im decreasing my dosage from 90mg to 60mg, its now 2nd day and i could sleep only for like 4 hours maybe. I feel sleepy af but cant release myself into the state of sleep. My brain is working like a fast machine but i cant function. Its so annoying. Its not my first withdrawal, ive been through various hells a few times with different antidepressants (efexor, cipram) before, since my health issues have been all about depression, anxiety, etc etc since my teenage times. Medication is a life saver, cant deny it but letting go is no different than (maybe even worse) a drug addict's journey in sobrierty rehabilitation. Btw im so dependant on caffeine also, so letting go of the filter coffee feels equally awful. We all know how the caffeine cravings feel :/ But im gonna limit myself only with the morning cup from today on..because the insomia is reallll😑😑
I’m microdosing with magic mushroomed which is helping with the withdrawal symptoms. I’ve had brain zaps, hot flashes, irritability, and intense tinnitus. Every time I’ve eaten a small mushroom, the symptoms stopped until later in the day in which I just take another. Thought I’d share what has helped me. Especially now that magic mushrooms are legal.
Most who have never experienced the agony of trauma, depression, OCD multiple symptoms have no clue the pain we endure in this life.
Yea my doc wants me on this, no f way I am taking this sh.
I am crying now, please you are a lovely guy, don’t ever take your life.
I am going through cold turkey from Duloxetine at the moment, and I feel it’s time to go, but I know it is the withdrawal symptoms that’s causing this for me.
I’ve never been so so down in all my life.
I’m praying for you. If you pray please pray for me too❤
@@standinginthegap7118I don’t pray but Im pulling for both yall and I share your pain
Cold turkey is never the way to go
How are you doing?
How are you now?Did you reinstate? I was on cymbalta for 5 years.
I feel your pain and anxiety brother. I'm going through the exact same situation. Thanks for making this video. I feel like I'm not alone.
Just stopped cymbalta 20mg cold Turkey. It’s killing me. I thought i was going insane and then I saw your video. Thank you so so much for validating me. The brain zaps are so so bad and I feel like I have the flu/ I’m gonna faint. It’s been 4 days now and I’m hoping i can stick it out and get through the worst of it. Thank you so much for sharing.
i'm seeing this 11 days later. hope you're doing okay! I went back on and tapered off by opening the capsules and doing it slowly and that worked with no withdrawals after trying a couple times and being too unbearable. best of luck to you
Hi Veronica can you give me an update. I’ve been on it for 10 years 30 mg and not feeling good. I want to go off of it but I’m so afraid.
Any updates? Did you get past withdrawals? How are you doing now?
This is me currently. Have been off it cold turkey for a week and a little and it's been hellish. Vivid, strange, disconcerting dreams when I manage sleep, but am dealing also with bad insomnia, and flu feelings and brainzaps just started today. Have also been dealing with the feeling faint a lot which makes it hard to leave the house. I have been deciding whether or not to go to ER and get a team of doctors to help but I know I'll just get put on more meds and I'm not willing to do it. Reading your reply makes me feel a bit better as at least I know others have experienced the day. It's the feeling faint and exhaustion and insomnia and debilitating depression that has been hitting me harddddd. I'm trying to find ways to ease the withdrawal.
I'm in day 4 of stopping cold turkey. I've only been on it for 4 months, but OMG! I just got the brain zaps today, feel on the verge of throwing up constantly, horrible anxiety, insomnia and scary nightmares when I can sleep. Today is the worst. I pray that this goes away soon!!! Will it go away?
The longer I listen you the more I wish I could speak to you. You are an amazing soul. I admire your courage to come on this platform completely vulnerable to not just helping yourself, you're also helping other. I tipmy hat amd I hope we get a chance to chat. Thank for all the energy and time you put to the videos. I just found you today. My Dr prescribed be Cymbalta I'm scared to take it, looking for insight from others in the community and I found you. All the best hoping for better than rest. Please reach out💔🖤❤️🙏🏾💪🏾
Hey! I'd be happy to chat. Send me an email. borsellinonicholas@gmail.com
I'm praying for you
No human should have to experience life like you described. You rock dude for sharing how you feel and what you are going through. Just know you are helping people and that is the highest thing one human can do for another. My pain mng. Dr. Prescribed this stuff to help my chronic back pain. So I did a little research on the drug and found way too many people suffering as you described here. I took it for 2 days and my brain started doing strange things so I quit while I still could. Thanks again for sharing openly and honestly. I wish you the best in life and am praying for you brother. I’ll have 33 years sobriety in November so hang in there. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey! Seeing this 4 weeks later! Sorry for the late response. Thank you for the kind words. I really just want to help people in any way I can, I'm wired that way. It means a lot to hear that sharing this stuff isn't falling on deaf ears. Thank you for the support and congrats on your sobriety!!! I'm on 7 years! I wish you all the best!
I didn't even quit, just halved my dose from 30 mg to 15 mg (roughly), a few weeks been already and I feel nothing, like I don't enjoy anything. Can't imagine how hellish it would be to totallg quit. Conratulations to you guys, quitting duloxetine is such a badass achievement.
Thanks for making this video! It sounds like someones walking on snow inside my head 24/7. The headaches, mood swings, drunk feeling. I have the new superpower of forgetting what I'm doing while I'm doing it. Fun times 😓
hope you get through it and feel better soon!
Hang in there man. Went through a similar withdrawal 15 years ago from Effexor. This video is going to help someone some day when they're reaching out for any info they can get their hands on. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry to hear you've been through this but nice to know I'm not alone. I've heard from a few people that effexor has similar withdrawals too...
thanks so much for the video man. i going through the same thing and your video has helped me a lot. by the way, although you say you’re feeling very bad, you look very good and healthy in the video. ;). thanks again buddy
My doc put me on duloxetine because I was having an impossible time coming off effexor. She said to just start using this and then when I come off of it I won't have the brain zaps because it's "totally different".🙄🤦🏽♀️
It's not as bad as the effexor zaps... Those were tougher, but it's still just shy of a walking nightmare.
Effexor was the worst. Never been through anything like that..it was beyond as beyond bad could be the nightmares, the brain zaps and the suicidal thoughts were really serious. Took me easily 3 months to come off this stuff and please come of it slowly..I'm now about to start Duloxitein as I lie with chronic pain and heard this could help ....I'm very scared to try it but don't know if I have much choice
@@richlewis6822 good luck, really. Effexor should only be prescribed if you have to sign something to acknowledge the horrific withdrawals. It's the worst to come off of.
Your video saved me dude, all these withdraw symptoms, and side effects you mentioned I've had while It was in my system and when I was off it. It does not feel good, there were days it felt like I was dying cause of it that it caused me to have anxiety attacks that caused me to go to the ER. Next time I go to my psychiatrist I am getting on a different Depression/Anxiety medicine. Thank you for sharing this video bro, remember that we are all here for a reason and that you matter alot!
Sorry to hear you're going through this. I feel so much better OFF of duloxetine! I had to go back on the meds and taper off slower by opening the capsules and that worked to control the withdrawals but what a pain in the ass! I hope you're able to find something that works for you
@@NickBorsellino I'm so glad I found your video. Thank you for making it. I'm about to start tapering off of duloxetine after being on it for about 15 months. Before duloxetine I took paxil and before that prozac. I've been on these types of prescriptions for a total of about 25 years so I'm super anxious about the withdrawal symptoms. Can you give me a little more on how you tapered. Which strengths did you take and for how long on each one before tapering down again? Thanks again!
I used to struggle with depression all through my teenage 13 years old until 30 years old at age 30 I met someone who invited me to church, and I started reading the Bible. There is no medication like what The Lord Jesus Christ, can do. I have not cut my wrist, or had the same feelings of depression like I used to have we all need Jesus Christ in our lives to be free from any demonic attack. Jesus delivered me and saved me from myself.
Stop it!!!! This kind of rhetoric is pretty dangerous. People need PRACTICAL help!!!!
Nick, thank you so much. You made this video for me, so I can understand, at a deeper level, what my friend is going through. You are a blessing to many
I really appreciate you and your video. I’ve been on this med for years and I’m ready to get off of it. The withdrawal symptoms are HELL! Sending you well wishes and prayers. 😊
I'm sorry that it's not working for you. I've been on it for almost two weeks, and it's working incredibly well. I pray you feel better. Keep sharing.
It worked really well for me the first few years, but then I developed severe tremors. So keep an eye on how you're feeling over time. Glad to hear you're doing well.
I'm really happy to hear that you're having positive results with it!!!
Please know that you helping other, another word’s your here for this reason . Thank you for your openness, prayers for your healing!
thank you ❤
I've been taking this medication for 2 1/2 months. Two weeks ago I started feeling not like myself and Realized something was wrong. I have neuropathy and anxiety and was prescribed .I googled Cymbalta and found your video and think I did I wish you nothing but the best and thank you thank you.
hey! I hope you're able to get the meds all straightened out! After getting off this drug I decided I needed a break from all meds and I feel way better off it than I did on it. It really sucks that the doctors just prescribe all random stuff hoping something works. It seems like there should/could be a better way than just being guinea pigs but I guess not. i wish you the best on your journey
Thank you for posting this I’m on day 3 and I can’t stop crying which is not normal for me. My emotional state is very touch and go right now. I too have MDD, ADHD I completely relate to what you said in the video. Due to my prescription being delayed I ran out so I’m off 30mg for 3 days and now I’m researching what I can do to help until this detox improves. I hope you’re doing well and anybody else who’s reading this. Stay tough 💚
My doc quit refills for my medication because i haven't seen him in three years due to COVID and having to move so now I'm currently struggling on whether to get a doctor again or just let my body heal. I'm so scared because like you have been diagnosed with Major Depression and I get so emotional that I have such a hard time not crying for no reason. It's so good and helps me feel so much better that I'm not the only one. This really helps for those who struggle.
you're not alone! I see this comment is from a month ago. I hope you've figured out a solution and are doing okay
I have. I gotten back on the medicine. I had went to see a doctor because my withdrawal only got worse.
Thank you so much! ❤️ I've been off Cymbalta (and on with Agomelatin) for almost 2 weeks now and the symptoms as you explained are just hell. I also have the cry for nothing, extreme anger and laughing at wierd stuff syndrome. The hopeless feeling and the feeling of being a failure is tough. The lack of sleep, even if I have Lergigan, Quetiapin, Atharax and Agomelatin is a struggle. Just feel so tired and exhausted. Maby have to put myself in the clinic for a few days (did it when quitting Voxra). I'm not suicidal but I don't have that normal "I would never" restriction either and that's scary. I want to thank you for sharing this. It's always comforting to know you're not alone in this. I really hope you feel better now. 1000000 of hugs to you! ❤️
I hope you're doing okay as I'm seeing this 8 days later. The struggle is real and YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Thanks for asking, yes I am doing better now. Still full of anxiety and depression but my suicidal ideation has dissipated and I'm not spending full days in bed. But winter is coming so that may change... best to you!
Nick I cant thankyou enough for your truth and honesty on this drug! It has helped me tremendously...
ADHD here too. It definitely makes my depression worse, no doubt. How are you doing now? I take Cymbalta (have been for maybe 2 years). If I miss two days of it; I am an entire nightmare and don’t feel like myself at all. It’s scary, and how dark thoughts can get. I appreciate this video because it helps others feel they aren’t alone. Stay strong! ❤
The brain zaps are really hard for me. I’m tapering of only 20 mgs . I cannot sleep…my head hurts. I’ve been crying non stop, depression, I have OCD, anxiety ADHDthat heart wrenching feeling anxiety yes… never stop making videos please. I started that meditation for my neuropathy in my foot from hypothermia 2 years ago. I’ve been wanting to get off but this cold turkey is making my absolutely insane . Your videos truly do comfort me and you remind me of my self a lot . You’re any amazing person thank you for all that you do even if you can’t see it..! Keep your head up. There’s always an end to the pain and beauty to see in the world somehow. 2 week mark. This feeling is the worst. Oh and having ovarian cysts pumping out hormones to make you even more insane , does NOT help LOL 😂😂
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you're doing better now, it's been a month. I can say it's been almost 2 years since I got off that crap and I'm doing much much better now. Night and day difference in my mood and outlook on life. Psych meds didn't work for me. I tried a lot of them. I'm better off on my own as far as that goes. I wish you all the best! You deserve nothing less!
I accidentally came off my Cymbalta 120mg while I was on the tail end of organizing a mental health walk in my town. I finally had the time to get it refilled today. The medicine works very good for me and I have been spiraling mentally. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for posting this - when you started talking about how this has been affecting your relationship with food and physical activity, I felt very seen for once. You put a lot into words that I struggle to. Again, thank you
My God man are you in my head? I'm on day 15 without it. The heavy hitting side effects are lingering but leaving, but insomnia and deep depression are still very rooted in me until this med is gone...
ugh, sorry to hear you're going through that. It's been a few weeks now, hopefully you've come out the other side of it!
On day 10. Misery
Sorry that you are feeling that way! Let me tell you that you are not the only one. Hope you get the help that you need because isn’t fun to feel like that. And thank you for making this video
Thank you. I'm doing much better now.
I’m very happy to hear that you are doing much better. Sometimes talking about it helps. Even you don’t know me, I’m here if you ever need to talk
Honestly, you are a rock star for being able to actually sit down and film. I am inspired to get out of my own way, because if you can pull your shit together to actually make this video happen, I can too.
I’m sorry this is happening. I stopped cold turkey two weeks ago and your video has helped me identify symptoms in myself. My (physical) withdrawals have been nausea (which has now gone thank goodness), dizziness, whooshing and the biggest pain right now is losing concentration and my train of thought constantly.
I hope you get through it safely and soon
please get off the drug slowly & effectively.........I was hoping to see more videos about this drug and more people telling the truth about the side effects as it is .......a medication that is .....dangerous.....
I'm starting this medication today and I'm very grateful for the perspective you have provided. I'm not happy about being forced to take this but I've been struggling so much that I'm willing to give it a try. You have the right to feel how you feel Sir. Don't beat yourself up for the handicaps you have to hurdle. The world needs folks like us, just like it needs"normal" folks... Keep your head up and remember "311's got tha boom y'all"
hey! I agree with you. I only took it because at the time my other option was unaliving myself and my girlfriend and family really didn't want me to do that. So i took medications to stay alive, literally. I wish you the best and also like 311 says "Stay positive and love your life"
@tyrel I don't know what that is so I'm guessing not
Your nausea description was spot on! I was trying to describe that feeling to someone recently and couldn't. I'm coming off 60mg, gonna try the antihistamine thing next. This withdrawal is making my eyesight go crazyyyyyy.
it is awful!!! My best advice is break up the capsules and taper down even slower over another 2 weeks. That worked for me
@@NickBorsellino I did cold turkey. By the time I hopped online to seek out others... I couldn't do the capsule breaking up thing. I'm on week 2, nausea is gone. Zaps are not as frequent but other things, like insomnia, have settled in along with the random rage outbursts. I have found that taking an OTC med that has antihistamine (diphenhydramine) & acetaminophen works better for me than antihistamine alone. My body liked the lower dose. Anyhoo, thanks for the video. To anyone suffering from withdrawal right now .. You can do it! 🥰
Im glad that you have the same symptoms because I thought I was going insane
Please don’t stop making these vids. I am crying here because I am going thru the same and thought I was going crazy. Keep safe, hope we all make it. 😭
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! and you're not alone either! Try tapering off slower. My girlfriend broke the capsules open and tapered me off the smallest dose over 2 weeks and it worked without withdrawals but if you have any withdrawals just increase the dose a little for a week or so and try again even slower. I wish you the best 🖤
Have you tapered off?
@@user-wb2yv7ll9d yes! I am finally off that shit ! I did it by taking one pill instead of two for 3 weeks, then took 1 pill every other day for 1 week, then 1 pill only when the zaps were too much to handle. As of today I am happy to say I am FREE of that evil pill. 🥲 I was only taking it for less than a year, so maybe that’s why it didn’t take that long to get it out of my system. So be careful people, just because it worked for me it doesn’t mean you should do it as I did. I am having trouble sleeping though just as I did before I started cymbalta, half a Benny at night with some valeriana tea does the trick for me. I haven’t ideated for a while as well. 👍🏼 OH! I am also losing weight slowly too! I hope this helps friend. It is a slow road, but one well worth it.
@@ravenmoon8147 Thank you so much. I have not been on Cymbalta too long and it's only 20mg but I feel a lot of the side effects and no benefit.
When I take it, it feels like speed or something like that. I know it's' not a stimulant.
I stupidly took 40mg one day and that was horrible. Right now my ears are ringing like crazy, apart from pother things.
I appreciate this video a lot. I just started taking Duloxetine today to help with my anxiety, depression, and numbness sensations I feel throughout my body. I also have brain zaps and typically they occur when I try to fall asleep while not being really sleepy. Naps are not even a consideration for me. I can only fall asleep when my eyes are extremely heavy to avoid the brain zaps so typically I fall asleep around 5-6am.
I hate hearing that I’m not alone. Because I know this is something that’s so hard to explain to others and it sucks that others know my pain. But I hope that together we all find our peace and our own mental health journeys. Thanks for posting such a vital video for us when you’re vulnerable. Best wishes.
i hope you get through the zaps quickly. it's odd that you're having them when starting the meds and not coming off. you might want to talk to your doctor about it.
@@NickBorsellino I’ve been having brain zaps for years. Even before I started medication. I’ve gone to neurologists and doctors and they basically prescribed me anxiety medication
11:05 pm.. Thank you so much for your video. This is the first video I watched since I've stopped duloxitine 60 MG 11 days ago. You have helped me so much! You are so on point with this detox! I don't feel so alone now! The best of luck to you. 😊
You need to BE FAMOUS . Your videos are amazing. Ong. Thank you so much
LOL thanks but I don't really want to be famous :)
Can't tell you how much your video helped me. Your descriptions of symptoms were so spot on.... Especially about the nausea/not nausea and brain zaps.
I’m having every withdrawal symptom to the extreme. I lost my health insurance and I had to switch to the Native American clinic that is 2 1/2 hours away from me to get my meds. I was on Cymbalta prescribed by my primary for chronic pain. I have back and neck problems and have had four surgeries. My medication did not get sent to me on time and I had to stop drastically on August 30 was my last pill. I didn’t get my medication sent to me until September 6. I was already in active massive withdrawal. I messaged the pharmacist and they told me not to restart and I needed to speak to my doctor that is 2 1/2 hours away and no one seems to understand what I’m going through, your video helpful honest, and I appreciate that. I really at this point even know my symptoms are 200% severe. Thank you for sharing your story and if you have any advice for me to get back to normal, I would really appreciate it.
I’m weaning off Duloxetine for the second time. It’s rough…even weaning off super slow from a small dose. All I wanna do is drink and watch horror moves! And I’m active duty which is super fun while you’re detoxing :) But I know it’s temporary. Gotta keep fighting! We’re in this together!
hope you made it through the withdrawals okay
i´d say 1 week after you can maybe replace with CBD Oil that has antidepressive effect and then quit the CBD Oil on day one once the widrawls is over .. Cannabis might be a tool for SSRI Medicine quitting
@@simon990055how about thc
How much mg were you taking before weening off?
@NickBorsellino espero estes bien. Hope you feel better. I see you in this video and is like watch myself.
If you found a way to concentrate and do your to do list, please make a video about that. Because for me is like my heart is so so heavy the i can't move my feet to do all the thing and chores.
I want to tell you this from my heart.... you are doing something so important for a lot of people. It feel like you are doing your purpose in life. You are necessary and awesome.
Thank you 😊
you're not alone and there is hope. I hope you find some relief. I'm doing much better now. I've been off those horrible meds and I'll never go back on them. My suicidal ideation has gone away and my depression has improved drastically. What really helps me is being busy with work out of the house. When I'm busy, I don't have time to be depressed. It's when I stop that it all floods back.
Thank you for sharing, our stories are very similar. It’s good to know those things happen to others also. I hope all people struggling get better. Im on first week off cymbalta i am trying to get back on track (sleep food water). The only thing I fear its my therapists reaction because i didn’t consult him before doing that.
I got off of Effexor in the past and I had the disorientation and horrible horrible brain zaps like I was being electrocuted in my brain for 6 weeks or more. I am so sorry for what you are going through.
This is totally me!!
It’s comforting to know I am not alone.
I understand the withdrawals, zaps, awful feeling. I have a lot of the same disorders as you!
Going on medication it takes higher doses…causing awful withdrawals when stopping med or even lowering dose. You are not alone!
Your not alone am here with you going thur the same thing💕
Thank you for talking about this, I've struggled to quit this drug for a decade now.
Sorry to hear that. Luckily I was finally able to get off it. Just had to taper off even slower then open the capsules and take smaller amounts every day for 2 weeks and that practically eliminated the withdrawals. I'll never go on cymbalta ever again!
Brain zaps, unexpected random electrical shocks... If thats not torcher i don't know what is. Thanks doc.
Brain zaps are nothing compare to Akathisia.
Oh Nick! My heart is so heavy for you watching this video of two years ago. I hope you found better tools to take care of yourself! I’ve been on a similar journey for a very long time. Just finding tools that are turning the corner as my depression has increased. I understand getting little joy out of life and wanting to leave. If you don’t have support people in your life you can reach out to me. I’m really good at it.❤
so good to know i'm not crazy!!! thank you!!!
you're definitely NOT crazy!
Thank you so very much for being so open and honest. I want to come off of this med.
Fellow MDD sufferer here. 8 months on Cymbalta and weening off the past few weeks The hungry/not hungry/ stomach issues.. Oh man I CAN RELATE!! THIS SUCKS!!! Hope you are doing okay 🙂
hey, hope you get through it without too bad of side effects. I ended up having to go back on it and tapering off even slower by opening the capsules and splitting them, making my dose smaller and smaller every day for 2 weeks. that worked for no withdrawals
Struggling through my 5th day away from this nasty sh&@(t (120mgs) this sucks
Literally getting every feeling you mentioned.
Respect to you and your video
On my 2nd week sweetie...miserable
Oh my god! Yes this is what I’m experiencing! The whole “stepping off curb” It’s like I’m constantly being startled over and over.
it's been 10 days since you commented, I'm hoping you're feeling better by now. If not, I would talk to your doc and go back on the lowest dose for a couple weeks and then open up the capsules a split up the beads and taper down a little more every day over a 2 week period. That's what I ended up doing and it worked for me!
I am on my third day of withdrawal from 60 mg/day. I have the same “electric shock” feeling, I guess you call it brain zaps- I describe it as I feel like I am shifting between realities. Nausea is an every day thing for me but this is a whole new level. I have major depression and fibromyalgia.
i'm sorry to hear you are going through this. my girlfriend broke open the capsules and slowly tapered me off over 2 weeks and the withdrawls were much better, barely noticable
How are you feeling? I’m on day 4 of coming off and the effects are horrendous I could cry! The zaps are constant and I feel sick and dizzy
@@mayo6684 I’m still having the occasional zap, but the stomach discomfort and nausea have passed, thankfully
Brain zap for me is worse when I look around. The brain zap is very hard to explain. I appreciate the fact I don't feel alone. Tried to explain this to my wife. It's not like anything else.
Dealing with this now. thank you sir for the video. Im late to the party and hope you are well now. Excellent Primus poster my man!
yeah i'm doing very well now... no meds... not sure how i'm doing so well, but i am riding it out while it lasts. I got that primus poster at a show in syracuse may 20, 2012. damn... 11 years ago
@@NickBorsellino All the best. I had a wicked ride getting off. Never going back.
Hi mate
That was such a pure video I just watched, reading the comments with your reply’s are inspiring. I bet you felt the slightest bit better after uploading this because that was very brave. You have touched me and many others, you should be proud of that 😊
Hope you are doing well legend!
Hey! Thank you for the kind words. It's been very humbling to have so many people comment on this video. It feels good to know I'm not alone and that I can do the same for others. I've learned that by being vulnerable I can connect with people on a deeper level. I hope you are also doing well and thanks again. Take care
Thanks for this video, very brave to share this. VA prescribed me 180Mg a day. Attempted sucide. I went into inpatient care. They were dumbfounded about my prescription. Down to 20Mg now. Withdraws are a nightmare. Thanks to you I don't feel alone.
Nick we sound like twins. Your Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms are also similar. The pharmacy noticed my change and called the doctor for advice. Mentally healthy I am only to be hear for persons help like yourself and the pharmacy. I was on my 3rd day of detox from 120 mg. So dark and scary. No counseling, no doctors, only RN's, to help save us all. Love yourself. A great share that eased my self perception in a dark hour. 😮
I think I was miss diagnosed. Wellbutrin would have been better. I need a pick me up. I was depressed over one bad decision, mistake I made in my life. I trusted someone too much.
Thank you for your story. I can relate to much of it and feel lost. Don’t give up. You are not alone. Thanks bro
thanks for listening to my rant. You're also not alone! ❤
Brain zaps suck! I had forgotten the part that you call one inch heart attacks, but yeah more strangeness from this med. I was originally prescribed it for Fibromyalgia pain and it did nothing at all for that. It did make my Fibrofog even worse and it made me stumbly. I would trip walking upstairs. My doctor was getting frustrated with me because nothing he tried made any difference, we had a bad visit where we were both irritated by the other and after that visit I quit taking Duloxetine altogether. Bad choice on my part but I had never been warned about the withdrawals. Horrible time. One of the reasons I wanted to stop taking it was because it changed my personality so much that even I noticed I was different. I wasn't suicidal but it was a very dark time. Not sure how else to describe it but it wasn't good. I hate that you're going through this but I appreciate you sharing your experience. I literally thought I was losing my mind when I was coming off this stuff. Good luck, I hope things get better for you.
thanks for caring and sharing your experience. It was hard but I'm much better now thankfully. Taking a break from all meds for a while!
My experience is like a horrible hangover with severe anxiety and it's out of nowhere and out of character for me. Extreme exhaustion in my chest, nausea, clenching teeth, ears ringing and headache. It just lingers and sticks around and I'm taking it for fibromyalgia. It makes me feel so sick 🤢 and it causes a horrible low mood like after a big, ugly break up and profound broken heart feeling. It zaps the life out and yet hard to get to sleep. Too exhausted and tense to relax, and when I do finally doze off I wake up from night terrors and weird livid dreams. It's not worth the suffering when there's other treatments available. This medicine should be banned.
I'm sorry to hear you're having such a bad experience. You're not alone, which I know doesn't help ease the symptoms. I agree this medicine should be banned
Wow thank you. I’m not alone. I’ve been working on getting my affairs in order. It’s surreal. Like I’m operating an avatar. Not really here. I’ve been off and on Sertraline. I’m dependent on it now. The depression is there whether I’m on or off, along with physical symptoms like nerve pain, insomnia, nauseous and lack of appetite etc. The psychological torture of the last three plus years has worn me down even more. I’m tired. Everything overwhelms
i hope you're able to find some relief from the pain. you're definitely not alone
Brain Zaps are a real thing coming off of Cymbalta. I journalled my taper off of Cymbalta. It's crazy feelings. Some what like mini seizure feelings... I wish you well on your journey to a healthy and happier you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you ❤
"Brain zaps" - thank you for naming it for me. I have ADHD, taking Adderall (generic). I've been taking Duloxetine 60s for a couple of years now, and would love to taper off after finding out that many of my symptoms may be caused by the drug. But. I take capsules, and don't know how to taper from them. I'm new here, and appreciate your straightforward talk. Much of what you describe fits me to a T.
I have been on duluxatine for a very long time your video has heiped me deal l am on 30 right now am slowly getiing off it depression has been bad it has been 8 weeks since i dropped 1/2 of the dose lhave felt all you describe and am alone this SUCKS wish i had known about this sooner
Holy toledo....you have hit all these little weird things that i have. I am not imagining it. Misery...on my 2nd week. Love you brother.
I'm considering coming off cold turkey, due to the fact that I can't afford treatment anymore ... Thank you for the video, hope you feeling better now....
Cold turkey is going to be very difficult and dangerous especially if you aren't on the lowest dose. Please be careful. 🖤
@@NickBorsellino I'll be careful. I'll look out for the side effects.
Took 120mg a day for 3 months to supposedly help with some nerve pain sensitivity thing I've been going through for 3 years now.
Idk if what I've been experiencing after easing off of it last week has been withdrawal effects, but if it has it makes me feel a little better. Honestly the past week I've been feeling the most lethargic, depressed and brain fogged I've ever been in my life.
But I'm glad to know that in a months time I may finally get back to being the person I used to be, and I suppose through daily dedication my nerve pain may finally heal after 3 frustrating years waiting for doctors to help me, yet they found nothing wrong from every test I've done.
dang. i hope you're able to find some relief for what you're experiencing!
I tapered off of Cymbalta real slow a couple of years ago by opening the capsules of the smallest dose and splitting them in half. There are probably a hundred tiny beads in the capsule that make it difficult to split. But I think it was worth it.
yeah that's what i'm doing now. it is a pain in the ass!!!
15 years of Cymbalta and it has quit working. If I go 27 hours between doses I will get violently ill. One of the side effects that I get it’s like I am standing on the side of an interstate and a car goes by really fast, that noise, but in my head when I move my eyes.
oh no! This drug is horrible. After being on it, it amazes me that they can even prescribe it
I've been weaning off Duloxetine for the last 2 months; down from 60mg to 30mg and now taking 15mg every two days (removing the beads). It has been extremely unpleasant. I was taking 60mg for almost 2 years for Fibromyalgia and MDD, and at the time it was a lifesaver. I was able to work fulltime which before I thought was impossible. I'm hoping to start a family soon so thought it was best to try to get off it. I work in management and the withdrawal symptoms are hard to hide. My body shakes, every time I turn my eyes I get full body zaps and white noise. The nausea is so intense. My migraines and body pain have returned. I feel agitated and full of energy but physically I'm exhausted. I can't focus on simple things like remembering the date and get frustrated.
Last night my insomnia was bad. I'm not an active commenter on YT but thank you for sharing your experience. Having you be so open makes me feel like someone understands. Reading through the comments gives me hope that things will improve. I just keep reminding myself it's a marathon not a sprint. Much love to everyone going through it right now x
hey! seeing this 4 months late but hoping you got through the withdrawals and are doing better now! Wish you the best!
Cymbalta withdrawal is the WORST! hope you are feeling better now
it was awful! Yeah i'm just fine now :)
You are a godsend thank you sir.
Yesssss everything your going through the same here I HATE it
Cymbalta withdrawal was hands down the worst. It’s been 3 mos. now and I will take the return of pain over going through that any day. I feel for you and hope you made it out. I have read some people need to withdraw by the beads at a time. It’s brutal.
YES! It's awful! I did split open the capsules and taper down with a few less beads every day for 2 weeks and that worked to eliminate my withdrawals
Ever had opioid withdrawal?
Thank you so much for making this video even though you didn’t feel like it! ❤❤
ugh. it's so hard to get in front of the camera when i'm not feeling well
I'm on week 3.5 after being on these tablets for 15 years, and my depression/anxiety is surfacing and making me want to run away from life.. What's more is I keep getting massive bouts of vertigo alongside a permanent weird dizzy/sick feeling in my head.. Anyone else had that? I keep trying to fight to get off these tablets after so long, but I'm not in the best headspace right now, thankfully I've got weekly therapy and a loving family - but it's tough, and my heart goes out to those also suffering.
I appreciate this
Been taking for several years, hasn't done much for my depression. Decided it should be discontinued when I had withdraws after a pharmacy issue and I went without for 2 days.
Went from 60 to 30 to 20 over two months. Just stopped 2 days ago. Withdraws are slightly less severe, but not by much. Confusion, brain fog, mood swings that go from intense anger and rage to crying. When I move my eyes to one side, I experience this "zap" and feel vertigo. It's disorienting. The mood swings create a lot of shame and loss of sense of self.
I'd rather deal with episodes of major depression over having to experience whatever the hell this is. At least I know what depression is-it is familiar, understandable, and I know what I can do about it. This, I am fairly helpless and lost, and I have no idea when it will end.
sorry to hear you're going through that. After 7 years of different meds i gave up with them all and have been on no medications for a year and doing better now than at any point while i was on meds. i hope you're able to find something that works for you, medication or not
Thank you for this video. I don’t have the complex mental health symptoms to the extent you do and I feel like I’m dying trying to get off this medication.
Anyone watching this on 2024 and got off this? How long did it take to feel normal? Help! 😢
I tried to get off several times and couldn’t cope. Switched to a low dose of fluoxetine and was able to do it. Love to you all.
I went off cymbalta cold turkey two years ago, withdrawal was so painful. Recently decided to give it a try again, first night had panic attacks teeth grinding, and suicidal ideation. Nope not going down this road again. I would also faint out of nowhere the first go around.
Oh no! This is nasty stuff I'll never go on it ever again!
I know what your feeling man, been on 90 for a few months for now and I tried to slow down, feels like your not connected to your brain,you feel sick but you want to eat,you get dizzy like your unbalanced, and definitely lazy and confused,.I've had 2 major episodes in my life,the first I thought it was impossible to overcome but I did in time and got into life again so it can and will pass I know ok, stress and the covid thing kicked me off again but iam gunna come good and you can too, your not alone brother ok take care man. Love and respect from Australia.
thanks for reaching out. It's definitely a hard road and I wish you all the best on your journey. I ended up going back on cymbalta dna my girlfriend opened up the capsules and tapered me down so incrementally slow over 2 weeks. reducing the pill each day. And that way I had no withdrawals. But man it was like 2 months of hell!!!
@@NickBorsellino good to hear mate, it's a tough road but remember you've done it you did it yourself WIN WIN !
That’s what that feeling is! Brain zaps ⚡️ I didn’t know how to explain it to my doctor, all I could say was it comes in waves & feels like I woosh sound. It is disorienting, I was starting to think I was crazy. 🙏🏾 thanks for sharing
yeah! They suck!!! Hopefully you're feeling better now
I've been on duloxetine for several years for musculoskeletal pain. I've tried getting off the meds a few times because I don't think it's helping, I live with significant chronic pain. The most prevalent withdrawal symptoms are the electrical zaps that start occurring one day after missing a dose. I'm afraid to keep going so I end up continuing with the meds. Very frustrating.
@@joshrg22 it’s difficult I got on for depression & nerve pain as a result of another illness. I feel the same way. It doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything but as soon as a miss a dose I notice a difference. Don’t be afraid to discuss with your doctor and coming up with a taper plan to help with the symptoms while coming off.
@@joshrg22 I hope you're able to find some relief to your pain
I’m coming off Cymbalta. I didn’t like being on it and I feel horrible coming off. I’m anxious, I’m not constipated anymore (thank God), I feel it made me lazy and now I’m feeling better since I’m tapering off. I will never take this again. I also have ADHD and I think that give me depression, too. Going clean for a while
i will say its been over a year since i made this video and im on no meds and i feel way better. not saying this will be the case for you. but for me it is working. I spent the last 8 years trying lots of different meds and nothing worked for me. I feel much better now than I have since trying all different meds
I've been taking Cymbalta for approximately four years. 60 mg. If I forget to take it for a couple of days, withdrawal symptoms are noticeably present; dizziness accompanied by amplified depression and anxiety. My latest hiccup lasted about a week, and the side effects were enough to convince me to possibly quit. Though I always have so much going on, it feels like it would be such a burden in my life to deal with withdrawal symptoms. I can only imagine how 120 feels.
yeah so the way i was able to beat the withdrawals was to break open the capsules and take a little bit smaller amount every day over a 2 week period. It was definitely scary when I was going through the withdrawals though. best of luck to you on your journey
You really helped me today I quit cokd turkey after I retired because I felt I did not need them , hey Siri thought I was dying. I wasn’t seeing my doctor and I thought I must have a fib or cancer or something and the brain zaps. Oh my God but after my friend showed me the side effects of going off of cold turkey I couldn’t believe it and everything you described today I have so I’m back on it, one pill a day and then I’m gonna go see my doctor which I haven’t seen and that was the problem. I should always ask my doctor but I am between doctors so I’m back on it. I was on it for 15 years hopefully taking back one pill a day like it was before will get me back to where I was at because I can’t live life like this. It’s just horrifying. Thank you for your help.
I know you made this a year ago I hope you’re doing much better and feeling better about yourself. Praying for you. Thank you for sharing this video I needed it.
yes i am doing much much much better! thank you!
Thank you for this ❤
As someone who worked on the front line supporting those with mental health challenges, i observed that many who had borderline PD didn't seem to respond well to anti depression meds. They did better on mood stabilisers like lamictal. This isnt medical advice as i am not a doctor . Some of my clients found lamictal improved mood, helped anxiety, and prevented some of the lows. A few found using low doses of drugs like seroquel or olanzapine in combination even more helpful, especially with DBT talking therapy. Again, not medical advice, and you must always speak with your psy doc or GP to see what options are open to your unique physiology. May take a few goes to get things right. Best wishes from the UK. Keep fighting!
I was on lamictal for a little while. Didn't work for me but the doc said they have great success with it for BPD. I'm currently off all psych meds and doing great.
Im currently on day 2 of completely stopping cymbalta. I did some research beforehand, so i knew not to stop cold turkey. I've been opening the capsules and tipping the medication out slowly over a period of a month.
The one thing i can't find anything on and the whole reason why im getting off of it is because of my dreams and involuntary movements. I had been acting out some of my dreams where i was mostly fighting with someone, and i was physically throwing punches and kicks. I hit my partner a few times quite hard, and we ended up sleeping in separate beds for a while. I also scratched my face with my nails from top to bottom because of a dream i was having.
Since tampering off slowly, my partner says i haven't been moving and twitching as much. I never experienced anything like this before taking this medication.
Anyway, thank you for making this video as now my partner can understand just how hard it is to get off cymbalta.
I sincerely hope you are doing well now.
Dang. Sorry to hear you're going through all that. This medicine is awful it should be banned! I'm doing much better now 2 years later. I hope you are able to find some relief.
After only 2 months of use the nausea just wouldn't go away. I stopped taking it 3 days ago and my headache got to be so bad I almost went to the ER. I HAD NO IDEA A HEADACHE COULD HURT SO BAD. I finally gqve in and started taking it again. My headacche is still pounding but only a 6 out of 10.
i hope youre feeling better now
Can I ask what ml you was on?
Oh buddy, I’m so sorry. Trust me, I’ve been there. I quit for 5 days cold turkey. I know it’s the worst and you totally feel like crying all the time now. It is so hard. I had all those brain pulses, severe vomiting, headache, vertigo, forgetting where I put things, nightmares...it was hell, and unbearable.
Did it go away
OMG! I am going through this right now! I feel like I'm losing my mind! I know the weird feeling you're talking about too! This is my second day without Cymbalta. They weaned me off and have me on Wellbutrin right now. But....the withdrawal side effects from coming off the Cymbalta is making me feel crazy. I keep telling my husband I feel like I'm in the Matrix or something. Like I'm "glitching". I don't have ADHD but I feel the same way you do! How are you doing now? Are you feeling any better? Is there light at the end of this crazy tunnel? 🥺 I struggle to be a human too buddy, so I feel ya on that.
I hope you've come out the other side, sorry for my delayed response, I've been way off ever since trying to come off this twice with no luck. Now I'm actually breaking open the capsules (actually my girlfriend is going it for me because I don't have the patience) and doing a tiny bit less each day. No withdrawals this time and I have 2 days left. So hopefully once this taper is over it will be completely done with no withdrawals this time.
I hope all goes well. I know how much of a struggle it can be. Struggle really isn't even the right word, because it's way worse than that. I had a breakdown and threw all of my meds away and refused to talk to any more doctors, (which I don't recommend for everyone, I'm just a stubborn asshole lol). I did that about 2 days after my comment above. I honestly feel amazing now! Still have some random withdrawal stuff while my brain resets itself, but to be honest, I feel great. It was crazy, I felt like I woke up from a coma. I can actually feel again, I laugh and want to actually live life now. It's a beautiful thing. I really hope the same for you. Just remember, you are freaking awesome! You're not worthless, you're not unlovable, you're not crazy (well maybe we're crazy , but so were Beethoven and Van Gogh and they were pretty freaking awesome 😜🤘). You still got so much cool meaningful shit to do in this life! So many places to see and memorable moments to have. Also there's these journals on Amazon that helped me too, one is 'Let That Sh*t Go' and the other is 'Zen as F*ck' . Keep you're head up buddy, you're so much stronger than you think 🏔️💪
@@calypso7952 so glad to hear you're doing better! I wish I could say that when I stopped taking duloxetine my will to live came back but it feels like I am fighting to stay alive instead of living. I will check out those books. Judging by the title they remind me of a couple books I've read that I can't remember the name of
I’m in my first week, I work full time and it’s hard.😞how are you doing now?
“Glitching” is the perfect description! I’m doing the same!
For my situation, it's society and government/local commune that is putting too much pressure and trying to push me into these roles/cultures that I don't fit into and when I push back and say no, they threaten me with financial sanctions which means I prolly end up on the streets, and the side effects from them giving me all this stress is making me physically ill, getting extreme stomach and chest pains, getting angst and depressed because I feel like I am stuck in life and that I am a slave and the government owns me which really messes up with my head... I know that all my symptoms go away when the local commune let me be who I am and let me be at peace without sticking their nose into my life and just let me do my own startup business, so I know I don't need meds to function, it's the environment and commune pushing me, that makes me sick but my doc won't listen, he wants to put me on Duloxetin, but no thanks, I don't trust any of these meds.
Thank you for sharing this video. I needed this
This is happening to me. Exactly the same symptoms 😞thank you for this video, it helps a lot.
i'm sorry to hear that, but it does get better!
yes sir. i know excitedly what your talking about . thank you .
i wish that you didn't have to go through it either ❤
@@NickBorsellino next day is always better . thank you sir.
@@NickBorsellino how long do the brain zapps , last after last pill been a few days now im still haveing them ,
@@lynnkelley9259 i don't remember exactly but it was at least a week and then I went back on the medication for a couple weeks to get it to stop, which the withdrawals stopped almost immediately after going back on the med. Then my girlfriend split open the capsules and repacked them with a smaller and smaller dose over another 2 weeks. That worked with no withdrawals.
i was on it a few years , . got to where i didnt thank i needed it , so i ask my doc to cut them down , i was on 60s, i went to drug store ,she hadnt called it in , we are in a very small town. people still help each other out, so i told him what i was trying to do he said , ill give you 7 a weeks worth of 30s , you should be able to walk away after that . ,i do feel better . but it has been hell , thanks you so much ,it helped so much to know ok this is normal, it will pass . felt better today .
Can you give us an update one month later? I'm going through this rn and this video really helped.
Hey! So I went back on it. Then tried again. And had withdrawals again. So went back on and not I'm taking the pills and splitting them open and taking a smaller and smaller dose every day. I did that for 2 weeks and I have 2 days left. Hoping that's the end with no withdrawals this time
@@NickBorsellino that's what happened to me, I tapered off too fast and now I have to go back on the pills. Definitely going to be cracking the pills open and counting all the tiny balls if I have to! We can do this, we got this! Thanks so much for sharing, wish you strength and peace.
I was prescribed this for my joint pain. Yes it helped, but when i took my vyvanse i felt like i have been taken way too much of it. I couldn't focus because i was so irritated. I called them and they sayed that this is going to be away at time. Now i am just thinking should i just quit it. I don't want these kind of this to happen again.
Hey I want you to know that I really appreciate your ability to speak openly concerning the many mental health and medication health issues that you're feeling and going through. It means a lot to me because my whole life I have ideated suicide and how could I do it and when could I do it and I have never gone to counseling for it and the only thing I take medication for is duloxetine for pain and for depression and buspirone which is depression anxiety. Sometimes I feel like I just want to get off of it but I don't know how bad it's going to be if I just dive 100% off of it I'm on 120s right now and I hope to slide the capsule apart and each single pellet in the in the medicine capsule is 1 mg and so you can count out whatever dose you want or not want for that matter and I have weaned myself off of another medication several years ago doing that at very exact method and it worked really well so I just came across your video by liked it I feel very respectful and I feel very in tune with what you're talking about and I look forward I've subscribed to your channel so I look forward to hearing more from you. David
Thank you for sharing ! I just got a prescription for this drug . I will really pay attention. Thanks again
i hope you have better luck with it than i did!!!
My strong advice, be really careful and do your homework before taking this drug from Hell. It was prescribed to me 3 years ago for neck and back pain after a car accident. The doctors never warned me about the severe side effects and all the people who committed suicide after taking it.
