New visitor here. After cutting Trazodone cold-turkey, I figured Cymbalta would be a breeze when my doctor told me I should be able to go from 120 to 60 for a couple days then just stop entirely. Most of the symptoms have come and gone in the week since I stopped totally, but there's something I can only describe as brain zaps which is really making things difficult, and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced them and had advice for dealing.

Essentially, I'm just feeling these pulses. It's a momentary buzz or hum in my ears combined with a brief dizzy spell, unsteadiness and occasionally stars across my vision. It's making concentrating on work, on conversations, even on walking across a room really hard. I've been trying to hide this from people at work because I don't want them applying their silly stereotypes about the medication to me (especially as I was prescribed it to deal with a lethargy issue, not depression) but it's getting hard when I have to put a hand on the wall to steady myself every four steps. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Aaand if I'd read more, I might have found my answers on my own in here. Sorry. I promise I'm not normally that lazy. My bad. I appreciate all the help other posts have given me though - this board is indeed a valuable resource. Thanks!
