Brain SHOCKS. PLEASE HELP

Please don't fight in here.
This is not such a forum. Or a topic. I understand how you both feel.
Yanni is good btw. And has some "strong" melodies. (He's Greek like me :mrgreen: )
I've visited a few mental health forums moderated by members and noticed that 'Learned Helplessness" is de rigueur. I was at first surprised and perplexed.
But then I remembered Karpman's Drama Triangle and realized that mental health forums will attract some who have been unfortunately Triangularized. And some of those who carry that baggage into the site with them, will naturally transition from V''s to R's and eventually become moderators. Which while satisfying their egos, the moderator as R role motivates them to re-inforce the Helplessness of the group. They don't want to lose any profound respect and appreciation by V's getting better and walking out on them. Always done under the pretext of warm, sensitive support. It's really just a lot of moving food around the emotional plate.
Then a pseudo-P (only in the mind of the R and his minions) drops in and the R resents being potentially V slotted again, so resents and resists the pseudo-P bitterly. Until the pseudo-P (who was never a Triangle player to begin with) eventually says, "To hell with it." and bails out.
Or something like that.
So GB, it's all yours pal. R away.
Out...

Day 6.
Felt better when I woke up. Later I tried to run to catch the bus and... oh boy felt that I couldn't control my legs. A woman gave me her sit in the bus and I was too "zapped" not to accept :oops: :oops: :oops:
Don't want that to happen again.
I feel so proud of reaching this point and kept the cymbalta away from my body! That' s something good, in state of mind terms, I guess.

Thank you GB for sharing this information. I am collecting a massive data base on information on Cymbalta and this answers one of one unsolved questions.
Blessings- Sumer

First week is over YAY!!!!
Weekend is coming, more time to sleep, to work with myself and feel better, YAY again.
Yesterday's afternoon was HELL. Doesn't fit in any description. By 10 at night I was exhausted.
Funny thing that happened that may be good news for all of us
My ex doctor called me to see If Im feeling better. She said that she had a difficult time worrying about me, she researched and found out some info about cymbalta withdrawal. Her words in the best translation I can give:
"You were right about some of the symptoms you described" (REALLY??? Well I described ONE symptom - the brain zaps. I think she thinks that these exist after all, but not as bad as I was saying. Of course not. Well THANKS doc for believing at least something I tried to explain a week earlier when I was seeking for help in total desperation! But now I don't need you!)

I actually feel better
Brain zaps don't feel that strong.
I have a small fever though but I don't know if it has anything to do with quiting the drug.
Xenia, I'm glad the doc at least did that for you, sadcat is right the doc's in the states would never admit it! The fever issue just could be Cymbalta as I and other posters have experienced the same. I've been doing some research on that as I was curious as to why this might be happening. I'm going to post what I have so far under the thread What Are You Feeling.
Be Well !

Brain zaps are almost apsent! YAY! They come by the evening when I start feeling tired.
Unfortunately I get VERY tired easily... just by walking some blocks.
I have a pulse of 100-110 beats all the time. Don't know if this is actually anxiety. Some shortness of breath also.
And a low fever.

Guys Im actually getting out of the tunel.
I can work and I can enjoy life again with some brief interruptions of small brain zaps and other soft symptoms.
I think I was very lucky after all and I hope days will be much easier for now on
