39th Cymbalta Update - Feeling Okay
August 12, 2026··
taper update
Feeling okay. Been having bouts of irritability, headache, crying spells, depersonalization, rage, insomnia, and anxiety.
Today I'm not feeling as well again. I've had a lot of stress over the past two days.
So I really need to rest and recover. The rumination and headaches have become more intense again.
I hope my nervous system settles down quickly and that I start feeling better again soon. 🙏
