11th Cymbalta Update - Feeling Poor
July 17, 2026··
Feeling poor. Been having bouts of dizziness, anxiety, headache, depersonalization, and appetite changes.
It's crazy how differently this wave hit me after I got up compared to yesterday.
My sleep was okay this time, but not as good as yesterday. I still have that typical waking up around 3:00 a.m., probably as my cortisol levels start to rise.
Today, sensory hypersensitivity has been particularly difficult. It keeps triggering waves of anxiety.
I'm still feeling very uncertain about what my stable dose actually is.

Cymbalta — 15mg(12mg) — 17 Jahre — holding -with clinician - 90 mg – 2021: First tapering attempt.
60 mg – 2023: Second tapering attempt.
With a doctor's supervision—but unfortunately, a doctor who doesn't know how to properly taper off an antidepressant.
