adding prozac

Has anyone had experience with adding prozac to help ease the tapering of Cymbalta?

I’m on day 4 of no cymbalta and withdrawal is so intense that my psych said they could prescribe me a super low dose of prozac (10mg), which could help ease some of the symptoms.

Any success from people?

side effects

I heavily regret ever taking cymbalta, I feel like it’s ruined my life. I was only on it about a month (30mg for 2 weeks —> 60mg). I only lasted 1.5 weeks on 60 before I told my doctor I needed off due to extreme side effects.

I have now been trying to get off of the meds nearly longer than I was ever on them to begin with !!!!!! I have extreme head zaps, dizziness, nausea, depression, SI, and nightmares. Does it ever end?

I did 60 —> 30 (2 weeks) —> 20 (1 week) —> 0 (i’m on day 2).

Any advice? Do I stick it out? I’m scared to go back on them and take out balls. I just want this to be over.
