Went from 60 to 30 without much difficulty
After going from 30 to 20 I had about a week of vertigo.
I am now off Cymbalta for 2 weeks and the vertigo, headaches and nausea will not let up.

After looking at my computer screen at work I am so sick by noon I can barely work.
I can barely stand to look at this screen and type right now.

Please let me hear some stories that this stops eventually and HOW LONG it took people to stop feeling the effects.

I am having too many visual effects to keep reading through all the posts.

Thank you sooo soo much.

Hang in there. I am in a classroom 10 hours per day after being off it for 2 weeks. I definitely have some buzzing and headaches. I probably would've waited had I known I'd still be having symptoms. I drink a lot of water, take fish oil and eat protein and fruits/veggies without much carbs (apples, oranges, soups). The diet stuff seems to help.

It does get better. Sometimes in a few weeks and sometimes it takes a year for it to completely fade away. The youger, healthier you are the better, I would say normally 6 to 8 weeks before you start seeing improvements. Hang tough.

Rhb, you are not alone. I have some of the same issues. I've been bead counting for about 2 months and am now down to 2 beads. Over the course of the entire Cymbalta ordeal brain fog, blurred vision, and vertigo/dizzy like symptoms have been the norm. You mention looking at your work monitor and how it gets you sick...I don't get sick but I do struggle to look at the screen. By the end of the day I'm worn out from fighting it.

 

Hang in there and keep the faith!

Good to hear from you Matt. You hang in there!!

I'm off cymbalta for 2 weeks. I don't have most of the symptoms you are describing. For me, it's just anxiety and lack of sleep.

I can say that exercise (gym or aerobics) makes me feel better. perhaps also omega 3 and vitamin C.

Sounds like a winner to me Zivcha. Things should improve more as time goes by. Good job!!
