All I have to offer is sympathy and prayers. Trust God to get you through it.

I Hope this Link works...it is a letters written to the FDA on symptoms that go with the withdrawls...if the link does not work, then go the FDA site, type in Cymbalta...

Seems that zaps are Common...YIKES !! I am SOOOOOO Damn happy I knew Immediately I could NOT take it...and I am Sooo sorry you are having these Problems !!

Yeah, right - go grocery shopping... I hope you have someone there to help you. Make them a list.

Drink plenty of water.

Sometimes Benedryl helps. I think a muscle relaxer help, some. I am so sorry, I know how you feel, it is horrible. I felt like there was a bowling ball going back and forth in my head and I couldn't stand without falling.

If you have any Cymbalta left, open a capsule and take a small amount. You will get a lot of relief and it won't set you back. You have got to do that with Cymbalta or you will not be able to stand it.

i found taking long bath helpful but i use this as a medition time too just zone out & reflet on healing any pain/[roblems i have!
i have invested in alot of luxury fixtures to makemybath a haven -haven't got the whirl pool yub yet but its on the future list! i did get a bubbler mate from hometric,

So sorry. I can't remember the details the doc gave me when he weaned me off it. I went off completely when I had pneumonia so I wouldn't notice any withdrawal.

Maybe try what you would normally do for a migraine. Quiet, dark...that sort of thing.

laying here in the dark qwuiet..... he called the ER nurdse for me, she said to put a cold pack on my head.
took some midrin and phenigran for the nasea
mom made me some potato cream soup w mushrooms n broccli n ham, and a white corn on the cob on the side. it was soooo good.

muscle relaxer sounds like good idea
not sure about teh hot bath, it s hot n humid here in Hawaii right now.
hmmmm maybe i'll try the open capsule ting n get a lil out to ease some of this CRAZY pounding zapping shit!!!! scuze my language

y'all are awesome

er nurse said if this doesn't get better in an hr n half, then go to er. Yeah right, all they'll do is treat me like a drug addict. i don't trust those guys.....
gosh i got a pulse in my brain

i'm gonna check out that web site you posted.... brb

Water therpy is reallygreat JUST TRY IT! lying in water that is comfortable to you=it doesn'thave to be hot! +the water just seems to calm everything down & lets you float tenision away! what have you got to loose & you'll beclean too!lol

holy cow.... that web site is describing EXACTLY what is haPPening to me! i read that the one person took 8 weeks to get off it!!! shit!! i'm on day 2 and i feel like DYING from the ZAPSSSS ~ ~ ~

it's a 9 on the pain scale 1-10. fuckin nuts

muscle spazms hurt, but still it's no match to the zaps and pulsating shit

ok.... bath coming up in a few mins. i'll give it a try even tho i don't do BATHS, just showes ..lol

ok i'll check back in w y'all laters. the phenegran helped a lot but my brain still feels like it got scooped open by a bulldozer and continuesly shocked by power cords.

blah... tryin to get to the bath room sucks

i had a haRD TIME W/CYNBOLTA & LYRIKA
ALMOST LIKE FLASH BACKS SOMETIMES, REALLY SCREWDED W/MY SUGAR KINDA TOO!= did try to go slowly off it, but after 4days i just stopped taking it & went cold turkey!
1wks to feel better

I'M GONNA GO TAKE MY BATH NOW!to sleep good!
I LAY AS STILL AS I CAN LYING IN TUB & LET THE WATER OUT & JUST FEEL THE WATER GOING DOWN AROUND MY BODY JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THE PAIN JUST GOING DOWN THE DRAIN & DON'T MOVE TILL ALL THE WATER IS OUT!=tub is empty

IT ALSO LETS YOUR BODY GET USE TO THE COLDER AIR INSTEAD OF JUMPING OUT OF HOT WATER INTO COLD AIR!
hope you feel better eat your chocalate pudding only w/him feeding you= lol you might need another bath lol

When I was coming off Effexor, I felt EXACTLY the same way. I was alone. My husband was away hunting for a week. It was horrible. By the time he got home, he said I looked awful. Well, guess what? I felt awful, too!

Anyway, some of the reading I did suggested that a small dose of Prozac taken for 30 days was enough to make the taper bearable.

I feel so bad for you. The brain zaps really stink. I occasionally still experience that in a mild way. It's like I was permanently damaged or something.

Hang in there - I hope by now you are getting some rest.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you are in such pain! Your doc should have prepared you better! You've gotten a lot of good advice. I find a warm bath in the dark with a couple of candle behind my field of vision helps a lot. 7 drops of lavender oil in the bath water is a great way to help your body relax.

The only thing I really would repeat is push fluids! If you can get a fresh lemon, squeeze a wedge into a cup of hot water. Add a little sugar for taste and sip while relaxing in the tub. The hot lemonade really helped me when I went thru withdrawals from another med that is no longer on the market.

I hope you feel better soon...hugs jilly
