Lifehack
I’ve been on Cymbalta for about 2 years. In that time I’ve gained almost 100lbs. A massive amount of my hair has also fallen out. no one from my past recognizes me when they see me—literally. out of shame, I don’t try to tell them who I am. I’ve been trying to taper off of it for months now, but it’s very difficult. My doctor tried to take me from 120mg to 0 in just a few weeks, but obviously that didn’t work. i’ve been on 30mg for a couple months now. every time I try to go off of it I get side effects. i’m ashamed of the person i’ve become from this medication; i’ve lost my entire sense of identity.
Even if I can’t get my life back (currently trying my hardest), I hope the least I can do is get others not to use this drug. Please, please reconsider. It’s not worth it.
