i thought i was going crazy ive been on many different pain meds and pshych meds but never have had withdrawls like this.the only way i was able to describe it was my blood rushing to my extremeties then back and my vision flutering so bad that its hard to drive. Showers seem to help but ive been trying to come off for about 2 weeks taking maybe one 60mg a week. it helps make work managable but im miserable. The medicine helped but i lost my insurance and am having a hard time finding a second job so cymbalta was one of the first of my meds to go. I have to admit i cryed when i read that other people have the same withdrawl effects i did. the sheer fact that im not crazy helps. Luckely im still able to afford my soma and norco so ive been mostly trying to sleep thru all of this. ive been told by my pharmacist that i should get back on this or get a free year but i dont want to feel this again. im so sorry to all of you who have these stupid zaps and vision "flutteres" and even more sorry if you have more effects. i understand and somtimes that helps just knowing someone else understands.

It helps heaps having people who really do understand. We all have different reasons for being on it in the first place, different home lives & are spread all over the world. Funny how something so bad can make the world a bit smaller - thank god for this site. Whoever started it deserves a medal. Good luck to you & everyone else reading this. 
