Why was it prescribed to you?
Got it in my head last summer I was dying and even when I knew I wasn't my head was still all messed up and I was having a lot of anxiety which seemed to morph into some depression.
I had never had any issues whatsoever before (I'm 34) so I'm hoping it was just a weird thing and now that I've broken the cycle of feeling like crap and can think straight again I can start to slowly come off meds and just go back to how I had always been before.

Sounds more like generalized anxiety to be honest with you. I'm guessing you have always had some trouble with sleep and mild stress management, but you were experiencing a lot of life stressors around the time that you had that more severe episode. If you were prescribed the Cymbalta by a general practitioner, I suggest you consult with a psychiatrist before discontinuing it. A psychiatrist is generally going to be a lot better at considering your history, listening to your concerns and goals, and prescribing something that more accurately targets your symptoms.

All I will say is to please take care of yourself first and good luck. Reach out if you need to
