[Ho...] Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi everyone! I am six months free of benzos after being CTd off 0.25mg Xanax. Most of my symptoms are gone now, except for fibromyalgia-like muscle issues and some head pressure/food sensitivities. I am so happy to be free of this poison. However, I am wondering if this muscle stuff will ever go away. Can anyone attest to this? Also, I’m poly-drugged. I have also been on 30mg Cymbalta for about 9 months. I was put on this because no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I now have to do a very slow taper off C. Can anyone offer some hope with either of these issues? Thanks so much!

[br...] Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 congrats on being free of benzos. are you asking about jumping off Cymbalta, if so you have very little to worry about. slight discomfort for a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ho...] Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hey there! Thanks so much for the response. I’m going to do a slow taper off Cymbalta. I’m more worried about this fibromyalgia-like pain going away. Never had it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ho...] Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thank you!! If I didn’t have this pain, I’d feel so much better. Did you have any muscle issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
