Re: Insomnia from Cymbalta/Duloxetine
Hi Janey, though the four months of Cymbalta were a waste of time for me, I did not have sleeping problems.
Now I have tapered off it and took the last dose about five weeks ago and I have been in hell ever since. My emotions are all over the place, I have abdominal pain and diarrhroea and just cannot sleep at all. I have been on about 15 anti depressants over the last 22 years and this is the worst withdrawal I ever got. Thank god for my therapist who does energy healing on me weekly which means I have two good days out of the week.
Hopefully you might find the reverse though and be able to sleep when you come OFF the cymbalta. If you are tapering off then, as has been said, do it slowly and try and have some support from others in place.
Take care
Ellen
