Ive tried Cymbalta, was only 3 weeks, was out of state and ran out. I remember it making me sleep and drowsy while awake. Im not sure if the Cymbalta alone is causing it for you, but it could be the switch if you still have had some Prozac built up in your system. Have you contacted your Doctor to process these concerns? He or she would know if this is normal and it would probably be a good idea for them to monitor your symptoms closely. The meds are changing the chemistry of your brain, so its best to monitor.

I have not personally but both my mom and sister have had extreme negative results with it. It made my mom premeditate the people in her bucket list and my sister started self harming and hearing voices. But I don't recommend stopping it right away either, the side effects of going cold turkey on that drug could be fatal if not done at a hospital Andy under constant supervision.
Please do be careful on this drug if you feel it is hurting instead of helping.

YES! WARNING ON THAT IS DEFINITELY CORRECT! My wife was on it and halucinated horribly as if she was an acid user. Had to take her off of that.

Be careful with halucinations and "visions." Best bet is to seek many opinions. My wife has been on anti-D's for close to 30 years and sadly, most doctors just want to prescribe what their latest kick-back is asking them to hand out. So you do have to do your own research and speak to as many people as you can.

Also remember that despite what most people say, you have to be completely off of Prozac for two weeks before you start anything new. And get your liver tested every other year if you're not already. Prozac is highly caustic.
