Been Off Cymbalta 1 Week

[painofzed]

The brain zaps are starting to get more and more severe but I'm finally starting to see the light. It won't be long now.

I weaned off Cymbalta and I had no symptoms until I went down to zero. The brain zaps were horrible. Thankfully, for me, it got better within around a week. I hope it gets better soon for you.

What's a brain zap?

What's a brain zap?

it's really hard to describe but basically exactly what it sounds like- sort of an electrical shock but not quite... it's a common side effect of antidepressant withdrawals and it's often triggered by lateral eye movement, interestingly.

I hate how all the Drs I've seen, when I bring up my hesitation of using antidepressants because they're bodily-addicting, and they lie: they say they're not. Either they're clueless, in which case they shouldn't be prescribing them, or they're dishonest.

Good luck.

I feel like my emotions are finally going to pull me to kill myself. This has been what I am missing.
