Cymbalta Withdrawal update

  Today, I am 14 days since my last dose of Cymbalta.  The withdrawals are much better, but not totally gone.  The headaches are gone.  The stomach ache is mostly gone, and would probably be better if I were eating better (staying home alone on crutches means you only get to eat what you can carry while using crutches).  My lips still tingle occasionally, but not as bad.  The brain zaps are actually happening more often, but are not as intense (no where near as intense).  And when I turn my head, my vision moves at the same speed as my head.  Day 10 or 11 was probably the turning point.  Once I got to day 11, I knew I had made it over the hill and was on my way down.  I still say, if you're taking Cymbalta, call you doctor, set an appointment, and tell him/her you want off.  Reading all the experiences people have had should be enough to scare anyone into picking up the phone.  I fully expect to begin seeing commercials from lawayers on the TV looking for people to sign to a class action lawsuit against Eli Lilly because of this drug.
