"i was put on cymbalta 60mg when i was in the psych ward for a suicide attempt. this medication significantly helped my depression and my thoughts of suicide went away. cymbalta has been life changing for me. i thought i didn&#039;t need it anymore so i took myself off of it a month ago. the withdrawals are terrible! worse than wothdrawaling from benzos, i was shaky for a straight week. after being off of it for a couple weeks my depression and anxiety came back full force, i realized how much it had been helping me and asked my doctor to put me back on it. i&#039;m now on 30mg and feel less anxious and less sad."
