Both of those meds are nasty and are difficult to withdraw from. The gabapentin is a seizure drug and the duloxetine works to increase serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. The problem with drugs like the duloxetine is that over time there is a downregulation of the number of receptors which makes getting off of it absolute hell. It can take up to a year or more for the brain to heal. We see the same types of effects in people that abuse drugs like meth and cocaine. There is a decrease in the number of receptor sites for dopamine and it can take time for the brain to reach homeostasis again.
Neither of those drugs were ever studied to be used over the long haul for conditions like depression and the use of gabapentin for neuropathies is an off-label use of the medication. Funny how they can use these meds off-label, but using HCQ or Ivermectin off-label is unthinkable. Even antidepressants like Paxil and Prozac were only studied for the short term use in depression while other strategies should be sought for long term treatment. Practitioners just write the scripts and hand the stuff out like it is candy. Pharma knows these drugs change the brain making them extremely addictive. Who the hell wants to feel like crap trying to get off of them when a person still has to take care of their responsibilities. There will be no easy way to get off those meds - but it can be done - slowly. The key is to titrate down in small increments while at the same time incorporating alternative things like vitamins and supplements.
The amino acid GABA can be used in place of the gabapentin. GABA is the inhibitive neurotransmitter that gabapentin is based upon - only it doesn't come will the side effects of a prescription drug. Vitamin B-12, Folic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Pantethine help to treat neuropathies. I have had some success treating patients with a homeopathic product called NerveFix by NaturalCare for neuropathies along with the supplements I just mentioned. All of them were able to stop taking the gabapentin. Valerian root standardized extracts can be used for the anxiety and nerve jitters that can accompany reducing these meds. As far as depression, Omega fatty acids are critical for brain function as well as higher levels of vitamin D. Blood vitamin D levels should be maintained around 70-80 ng/ml. Severe depression can even go to levels of 100 ng/ml. The brain needs healthy fats to function properly. Any and all artificial sweeteners and food additives like MSG MUST be stopped. Our modern highly processed foods are killing us. Sam-E is very helpful with depression but cannot be used with the Cymbalta.
The drug companies know that a person is not left with many alternatives that can be used while taking them thus making it harder to stop. The long term addictive problems with these medications is not fully disclosed to patients when those prescriptions are initially given. My advise is to find a good alternative practitioner to help with the transition if you are really serious about getting off of these poisons.
