I made my own capsules toward the very end of my taper. Not supposed to but it worked for me. Cymbalta is one of the worst withdrawals.

I'm so sorry you're going through that. SNRIs are so tough to withdrawal from. The best thing is to go to the ER (ideally if you have health insurance like Medicaid where you don't owe anything/owe very little for going) and get more prescribed immediately. Tapering down has been the only thing to truly help me. Weighted blankets/hot showers, and increasing water intake help a little bit though!

Cymbalta withdrawels are horrible ! When I would run out and my pharmacy would give me a hard time, I couldn't tell which way was right or left because I got vertigo so bad. Prayers that you are feeling better!!

My pharmacist says it’s out of your system in 5 days. I once went 3 days without it. Sending hugs. Medical cannabis is helpful with this.
