Has anyone else stopped Cymbalta cold turkey?

I was taking thos drug for maybe three years, got up to 120mg. And one day ran out and was feeling bad so I quit. Had some bad times, then others I could deal with, I had the famed "shocks" for a while, Then days where I wanted to hurt people or myself. I have been off of it for three months now and I am feeling like my old self. Not too sure if I am still depressesed, I know I feel like I have been let out of a bag. I feel more able to see what I'm doing. No more fog. Has anyone else been on this stuff and off for as long as I have? Tell me you experiences with this bad stuff. I will give it credit for pain management, I took for ungodly gout pain which seemed to be more tolerable on the drug.

    I take Cymbalta, however have by no means suspended use. Try studying the drug information forms that got here with it, or ask your pharmacist. They customarily recognize extra approximately the medicines than do the medical professionals. Too unhealthy you didn't have the hazard to taper off.
