    I need support and would like to hear of other peoples experiences while getting off of Cymbalta.

I was wondering if anyone had any luck with foods/supplements/whatever, to help specifically with the brain zaps, dizziness and the tingling in the fingers? It seems to be my worst symptom and its really, REALLY interfering with driving and work both of which I must do everyday. Thanks!!

As no one else has replied yet, I'll say that I've seen lots of recommendations for nutritional help, but unfortunately can't direct you to a particular post. The search function might help you as there has been a fair bit of info posted here about it.

    I am a sufferer of depression and GAD. After 20 years of suffering with undiagnosed GAD (to be fair to the medical profession, it wasn't in the DSM back then) I stumbled upon Aropax following a bout of depression. Having had the therapy I badly needed at the time, I came good and did well on Aropax for 11 years. Last year I started having difficulty with sleeping and thought I was suffering the poop out effect, so I switched to Lexapro. A few months later I realised it was causing me more problems than it was solving so my GP agreed to give me a referral to a psychiatrist - so we could work out the best medicine for me. Nearly 3 weeks on Cymbalta and I've stopped already. I've had restlessness, increased insomnia (I now recognise that there is more to that), an inability to concentrate (the opposite of the real me) and nausea. I want to converse with others who are going through the same issues with medication.

I didn't have the brain zaps but I've heard many people say that fish oil is very helpful. I take some anyway which could be why I didn't have a problem. Who knows?

Good luck
