I was almost a WAW (and still am-- in my heart?)

[Crazy Eddie]

My doctor started me off on 20 mg of Cymbalta, then 40, then 60. It wasn't a smooth ride even at that pace.

For a couple of weeks, I was getting minor injuries just about every day, scraping my hand, bumping into something, and so forth. I thought the medicine was messing with my coordination, but after all that cleared up, I now think that I had spent so long carrying the anxiety around that I had no idea how to move like a normal person... once I lost the anxiety and the awkward movements that go with it, I had to learn how to move and keep from hurting myself all over again.

There were also weird dreams and strange colored patterns when I had my eyes closed. No stomach troubles, though; maybe that's one of the reasons I was told to build up that slowly.

Anyway, I'd give the Cymbalta another shot if I were you, maybe with a slower tapering-up.
