    Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring’s knowledge and expertise are so valuable and rare he is a Unicorn of psychiatry. He gives me hope that change will come. Thank you Dr. Josef for giving me the opportunity to share my experience and try to educate and help others avoid suffering.

    Laura and Dr Witt-Doerring, Heartfelt thanks to you both. We need more shared stories like this because they speak for themselves - testimony of the pain and severity of protracted withdrawal and the hope we need to get through to the other side.

    Great interview! I was prescribed Cymbalta for fibromyalgia when in reality I had severe pain everywhere from coming off Percocet in one month after being on it for TEN YEARS! I wouldn’t wish that on anyone! 😢

    I’ve heard that the late withdrawals onset start after even few months, because the drug is stored in the brain and body fat tissue and its using it till nothing more of the drug exists in the body.
    When we are left with zero drug, the neurotransmitters look for it and crave. That’s when the withdrawals start.
    Then the brain needs to learn how to make it’s own serotonin again.
    The only thing that I’m curious, is...how is it possible that 50% of people could stop the meds and nothing happens to them and why the other 50% of people suffer withdrawals?!

    I still have Hyperacusis since quitting Cymbalta in 2005. The doctor didn’t believe me and I quit.

    I ended up with nerve pain in both feet and was prescribed Cymbalta.
    I was on it for over a year, maybe two and I thought it was fantastic.
    Unfortunately I got sick to my stomach from something and couldn't keep anything down.
    I was taking my painkillers and the Cymbalta but I was so nauseous that I could only take a tiny bit of water so I took the painkillers and stopped the Cymbalta cold turkey.
    I had no reaction from stopping it. I may have cut down but it would've been only a day or two because I tried to take them but just couldn't from the nausea.
    Maybe the Hydromorphone kept me from feeling any withdrawal from them ?
    I was telling everyone what a great drug Cymbalta was. It was super effective for me.
    I won't tell anyone to take them ever again.
    I feel awful for this poor lady. It sounds just like how I felt after a severe concussion

    I can relate to the ptsd associated with tapering. I do best when my husband manages my taper and I’m not obsessing over it.

    I too worked in the health service for 35yrs and as Laura has realised ,I am so shocked at what these drugs can do to people including myself now doing a taper,I am having to educate myself on how to slow down my tapering and watch and read everything I can find from medicating normal to all the emanate Drs /Psychologists who warn of the danger's of rushing tapering so as to avoid terrible suffering from side effects.Thank you both for this invaluable interview.

    I had this from cortisone withdrawal! I was diagnosed as hyperarousal but then pushed on clonazepam for tinnitus by audiologists! It causes tinnitus and way worse things, what the hell.

    I came off cymbalta many years ago. I had brain zaps but that's about it? 🤔 But boy oh boy, I'm 15 weeks off Valium now and this withdrawal has been so weird? 😮

    The animal model for depression is stress-induction, and yet we hear of "burn-out" depicted as though it was a separate condjtion, unrelated to clinical depression. Typical of the level of cognitive dissonance that we the sheeple readily endorse, humanity's inability to repudiate the engineering of professional-class violence is beyond comprehension.
