Can you have withdrawal symptoms

from an ad if you don't take it right at 24 hours. I know it sounds bizarre, but I swear if I don't take my cymbalta 24 hours after the last one at like 25-26 hours I start getting sick. As long as I take it, it the sick feeling goes away. Is this all in my head? It was the same when I would forget my effexor. Is anyone else like this?

Thank you for the response. Cymbalta is supposed to be a lot like effexor regarding the withdrawal symptoms so I will assume that is what is happening. Glad to know it is not is my head.

I get this with other things. (I'm not on an AD right now and when I was I didn't seem to have this problem.) But I've heard of it being an issue. No, it's not all in your head. (Probably going to your head, right? But you're not just imagining it.) Good luck! Does it help to set an alarm for that time? Personally, it helps if I set the alarm on my cell phone so I remember to take my Depakote twice a day. What do you do to remember it?
