cymbalta?

Anyone taking cymbalta while pg or postpartum?  I would love to get some feedback if so... I started taking it for panic attacks before I got pg, and I'm getting conflicting advice about what to do now that I'm expecting.  I'd love to chat with people who've been here!

    I took a very high dose of cymbalta while pregnant.  They felt it was better to stay on than to take me off ( I said I wouldn't)  Ended up having no problems at all.  My Dr. actually talked about sending my info to the pharmaceutical company since I was taking a high dose and nothing happened.

    Do you mind if I ask - did you BF as well?

    This is wonderful to hear. I'm beginning to feel like a won't be able to take less than 30 mg a day without feeling like I might pass out. etc...withdraws are not pretty . I get anxious just thinking about it. I have tried twice to get off slowly with horrible side affects. Would like to get pregnant, but advice from DR's is conflicting.

    I'm currently on it and am PISSED I got put on it. I should've been more informed but I read up on withdrawals and am scared to go off them now. I am going to the dr. on Monday to start weaning off it. The best I've felt is on abilify, but you can't BF while on it.
