CymBHell Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Hello. I just joined and am trying to learn how to navigate this site. This is the only forum that I seem to be allowed to post in. Short introduction - I am 34 weeks pregnant. I stopped taking cymbalta around 2 months ago and switched to buspirone at the direction of my doctor. He tapered me off way too fast and now I’m in living hell and unsure what to do. With a baby coming really soon my options are limited and there seems like no good choices. I really need help.
