41st Cymbalta Update - Feeling Okay

Feeling okay. Been having bouts of crying spells, gi upset, and irritability. My digestive system is still all over the place. It feels as if my gut is inflamed, even though it isn't. By now, I've learned that this feeling comes from my gut being irritated by withdrawal and stress. It feels like my enteric nervous system is sending a lot of signals to my brain right now, which seems to contribute to intense rumination and anxiety. Probiotics for IBS and eating a healthy, gluten-free diet seem to help me recover. Today, I decided to make another very small increase in my dose. I hope that within the next few weeks I'll find a dose that allows me to stabilize for a while. I'm increasing very slowly to give my nervous system enough time to adjust.
