3.5 Weeks off of Cymbalta.
It’s a debated drug, but it WORKED for me for 5+ years. The drug didn’t stop working, a series of other things did.
Changes at work + a continuous decline in my health = me leaving my full-time job. Add a year of unemployment and the savings account is depleted & I lose my health insurance.
Another several months pass and my prescription is getting ready to expire. So, with no insurance to revisit the expensive doctor you have to start thinking about what you are going to do next.
After reading multiple articles over the last couple of years on the long-term effects I decided to not go into further debt attempting to secure another script. I decided to wean off it.
3.5 weeks later and the pain…oh the pain! I’ve been on it so long I almost forgot how bad I was before. I don’t know if I can take this as my “normal.” I don’t know what to do.
