Dec 2022

For some reason I had no withdrawal symptoms. Tapered it off. A little depression,because it has anti depressant effects. My meds got adjusted and I was ok.

My pain came back tho like it was before the cymbalta,but luckily it was time to redo my back shots.
The pain got under control.

Been off cymbalta ever since and Im doing ok.
