are you on cymbalta or did you take someone elses? It can have a lot of side effects, all of which you mentioned as I had them too. I really don't reccommend you take someone elses as someone else here mentioned, it can be detrimental to your mental health state especially stopping cold turkey. It is a really strong medication that is super hard to detox from.

My son was on 60mg for 3 months.  He was nauseus and unstable the whole time.   His P-doc told hin to take 30 mg a day for 7 days, then stop. A week later he goes on a rampage, tears up his appartment, drinks (I think), goes for a drive and dies in a rollover crash. The stuff is poison.  Try to get off slowly, with people around that can help you or take you to the hospital if it gets unbearable.
