Yep, when the shingles hit your only choices are gabapentin or cymbalta. Ironically, I had just started cymbalta about 6 weeks before the shingles showed up.

I wish I had a friend in the greater Chicago area who was willing to give me some of their Cymbalta so I can function until I finally get my refill

Made it through the first week of cymbalta withdrawals thinking "ok everything seems to be chilling now, I think it's over." And then I get hit with the reprise. No I was in fact not ready for round two.

I've been through Effexor withdrawal, and it was horrible. Worse than Covid and worse than thyroid cancer.
Ten years later, a different psychiatrist who didn't know about the withdrawal suggested it. I asked for heroin instead so I could have an easier withdrawal. I got Cymbalta.

JFC I’m at the point where a handful of sunflower seeds fucked up electrolytes enough to send me back into a doom spiral. SEEDS. Thanks Cymbalta! #FML

I've been struggling with fatigue and sluggishness ever since I stopped cymbalta. cymbalta was perfect for my brain, it actually made me feel normal and well adjusted for the first time since like 2012, until I had to stop it. and it takes like a fucking year for a new ssri to kick in fully. sigh

I weaned off cymbalta b/c it does weird shit with Vyvanse, but I'm not on Vyvanse now, and I'm starting to think maybe I should still be on an antidepressant

A new feeling for me. Cymbalta really helped to calm my anxiety, until it didn't. I've tried a couple other meds that just made me feel sick. Paxil seems to be doing something? I don't wanna get too hopeful

interesting, I'm on that and cymbalta and I do get a little bit like, the guy in office space sometimes, even while feeling a lot of things, but I must have a really bad case of whatever I've got cause I still break through and get wild overreactions

i'm really sorry for what youve been going through. i know a thing or two about enduring horrible pain daily... are you medicated now, or was some diagnosis made? not to be invasive. just offering that cymbalta and lyrica do quite a lot for me. cheers

Pro-Tipp: Denkt an eure Antidepressiva! Schon ein Tag Aussetzen vom SSRI kann zum Cymbalta-Syndrom führen. 🙃

Just happened to already be on Cymbalta when the Shingles hit. Can only imagine what someone without experience in chronic illness would do when something like that hits them. 😳

Thea was luckily not on Cymbalta too long, so didn't have a terrible withdrawal. But it was awful. She refuses to even consider antidepressants now too.
So we know just how much these experiences can really affect you for life. Sending love ❤️
