This has all the withdrawl symptoms. It willl help you so very much, and let you know all that your going through is just the coming off of this noxious drug.
How long will they last, everyone is different. I had to adjust my dose so that I don't get them, Iam on a very slow wean.

Like Debbie, I'm now on a very slow wean, opening the 30mg capsules and emptying half the contents before taking it.
The difference between taking 30mg every second day and 15mg every day is amazing.
What dose were you on??

I must say I am not enjoying the drunken dizzy feelings, the brain zaps, and crashing sounds. I know it is the 4th of July, but this has been happening for days. Here on day 10 of my personal hell, my attitude has been getting a little better.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

Sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you are getting the full basket of nasty withdrawal symptoms. I have been weaning from 60mg to 30mg as well and have spent the past couple of weeks cutting back on the days when I take cymbalta. 30 mg every other day,then 30 mg every 3 days, etc. I just finished 3 days off and one day on and am not on day 2 of the next cycle.
Going this route, the withdrawal symptoms have been mild with anger and irritability being the worst. No brain zaps. Of course I'm also taking Prozac 40mg which helps with the withdrawal. I once went from 60mg per day to 0 for 4 days straight and the symptoms were hell. It seems like the brain zaps started after the 3rd day going cold turkey, like that.
