I’ve been off Cymbalta for 4 months now after a gradual taper, but I am still suffering from very severe symptoms.

I’m experiencing extremely intense depression that makes me wish for death every day because the emotional pain is unbearable. I have terrible anxiety, a constant urge to cry, and overwhelming anger — I can barely tolerate talking to anyone.

I also have some paranoia and terrible body pain.

Yesterday I went to my doctor, and he told me to start taking 75 mg of Effexor.

Has anyone been through something like this before?

Honestly, these have been some of the worst days of my life.
