I have only been on cymbalta 26 days (60 mg once a day) and decided to go back to Prozac. My symptoms were "back of the head" aches, dizziness when getting up, wanting to sleep for a long time and wild new (very interesting) dreams that might even end up as a movie plot. Some people might find them nightmarish, but it interesting how detailed them mind can be.
I stopped taking cymbalta and waited till I started to experience issues ( it took about two days and now I'm back to the 40 mg Prozac) I can't imagine being on this drug for a long time.
Please fill me in on any other things you may experience or want me to know about.

Which in some ways are kind of a scary thought as the Bible said you shall know them as they once were.
in them i am always back home where i was raised at. Those who are dead are alive and very much up to date on my lifes events and those that are alive also and both are awhere of each other and trying to help me.
Since on cymbalta I have been more into horror and torture movies then before , I alwayes liked veriaty of shows but now mostly Gloomy shows.
I have had turn around on the sick and dizzy feeelings during past few days from with drawl, I was out of lyrica as well and when got it refilled and took 2 pills within hours the other symtoms went away. knock wood .

Some say it lets you know your still alive and kicking but after yrs sometimes you just embrace it as a old friend.
I should have added earlier that the worst of all feelings from cymbalta I felt like no matter what happend it was like
the world was passing by and I could never get up to speed and do any thing about it.
I would go for long periods before being on cymbalta and have no dreams the after they were very messed up.
i had a brian surgeon do few surgeries on me as he was also a spine specialist , he warned me never go on any anti deprent drugs as they will really wreck your life
unfortunatly i had know choice from wife's stand point it was meds or leave,now its not all my wifes fault as I was at point of agner at drop a hat with the kid and her. Sometimes with good reason others not so good.
Before i was put on cymbalta I was diagnosed with
high blood pressure
diabites
high cholestrol
pnurapathy
and on meds for all, then they diagnosed me with bi polar and manic depressive, sorry not written in the order that things happened .

<br />Right now...I am just going through a dizziness stage, only while walking (difficult while working). I have no idea how long these symptoms will last and can just imagine what I will dream about tonight. Since I have not been on this drug very long (26 days) - I'm hoping this will move on quickly. Hopefully the Prozac will help. Hairgirl - Since you have had these dreams also - do they seem to be interesting to you so just annoying? I find it interesting. I have had some that caused me to think deep about who I am and what goes on in my sub conscience. The last dream I was the most disturbing (not a nightmare) and was the reason I decided to look things up. Cookie - did you also get the sweats in the same area (back of the head)?
No, I didn´t get the sweats in the back of the head. Although I had chills and sweats in general (whole body)

I also have had very detailed and vivid dreams. When I awake I feel as though I have been a part of a real life event. They don't seem to disturb me but I always find them onteresting. I, like you, try to see if there is a connection that my subconscious is working out. Typically I realize I realize the dreams are an extention of something I heard in the news or saw on a televisiob show and my mind seemed to make a movie for a dream that I could be a part of. I think this makes sense to me. I feel like this is one of the signs of the withdrawal from cymbalta. After more than five years I have had a feeling that Cymbalta is responsible for some of my current feelings so I want to get off of this drug. My doctor approved and told me I would see no withdrawal signs. He was ever so wrong. From 90 mg I have been on 60 mg for about 3 months now. Many changes with my vision that have been a bother and point of worry until my eye doctor was able to tell me there is nothing physically wrong in my eyes. Soon I will drop another 30 mg every other day and see if i can stay sane!!
