I have been on cymbalta 30mg. For a year. I asked my Dr to help me wean off, so she put me on 20mg for a week then every other day the second week & I m done! I was on 16 different meds all geared for pain, arthritis ,not sleeping well. She had me on zanax to sleep, flexeral muscle relaxer for my lower back pain & gabapetin to sleep! All three at night. I have poor balance I thought I was clumsy . Had a car accident in July, totaled my car in at 8:30 am.The car I hit didn t even have a dent! I still can t believe it happened traffic was not moving fast school zone? Then at end of September had a really bad cough she gave me cough syrup with codeine. I sipped it from the bottle & put it on my nightstand . Don t know if I fell asleep ,woke up & took some more? I wound up in hospital by ambulance in ICU for 4days & the rest of the week. I came home on Thursday never slept Friday husband had to take me back in to ER I was hallucinating , paranoid . While on stretcher waiting for a room I had a gran mal seizure! I stayed at the hospital for another week. 2 weeks in hospital, water on my lungs, zanax ,flexeral ,& gabapetin taken off the first week. My Dr feels I had a seizure as I had a delayed reaction being taken off zanax not weaned off?? No one else (Dr s ) seems to think so? I have stopped taking at least 14 of the meds prescribed to me with the help of Dr s at hospital . She wants me to stay on cymbalta claims its helps my brain rest, really? I want to be off anything I don t need. So she is weaning me off. I don t feel well still . Help !
