Has anyone done anything to help with the whirring inside ears?
I am off Cymbalta 30 mg for a week now and I wonder if anyone had extreme ear issues and if there was anything that has been tried to alleviate it? it's like a contestant whirring swooshie, sense, doesn't matter if I am moving or not! I have tried Benedry with no help? Any other ideas
Thanks

Ear noises appear to be a big part of this. Whirring, whooshing, ringing (tinnitus). It goes away mostly, though sometimes it can hang around a while. It's in both ears; it switches ears or it may go away in one and remain in the other. FN has had it (I think still does after 6-7 months). I still have tinnitus in my right ear after 2 years.

Hopefully, it will pass soon for you. I don't know of anything to alleviate the swooshies except time! I took (still am as I paid a small ransom for them!) a boat load of supplements I ordered from 'The Road Back' program that did zip, nada in alleviating any of the horrible withdrawal symptoms:( of this poison!
Hang in there, friend;) Blessings, Rebecca

Two good days in a row is fabulous news; it's a new threshold! Congratulations!
I took no supplements except Flaxseed Oil and Irish Whiskey, and not necessarily in that order. While others swear by supplements, I never found they changed anything- anything I could notice- and I say again, that's just me. When I was wandering the swamp of withdrawal I considered bringing home a boatload of OTC medicine- I just wanted something to fix my out-of-tune brain.
And you're right, Time is the medicine that's freer than any OTC- but it's a kind of OTC too- Over The Cosmos. IDK, I've always preferred UTC to OTC; I've always found the UTC stuff had more kick- it had the Flavour Bud as it were- but not the OTC, IYKWIM- it always made me LOL, or I'd find myself on the floor L-ingMAO! Oh FTS! Who came up with this stuff?
I looked at the Road Back program and found it was a storefront for The Church of Scientology, so that spooked me a bit; I knew I'd have to give them my address to get the goods, and I imagined John Travolta as Chili Palmer the smiling assassin, and Tom Cruise as that smarmy sociopath from Eyes Wide Shut showing up at my door, "Excuse me, do you have a little time to chat- perhaps you can give us just thismoment?"

irish whiskey? whatever works! since discontinuing i've found that drinking as little as a beer increases my anxiety a couple hours later - i guess as it wears off. on the C i could keep up with the drunkest of sailors ;-) . never drank so much as i did on the C - and effexor as well, something about the N in snri i guess. since i have had barely anything to drink since may, i can feel the effects of just a single beer or glass of wine. and... i admit, i smoked pot before the withdrawal - which is something else i can't do since getting off the C. talk about high anxiety… for me that is a guaranteed expressway to outright terror. didn't ever happen before. i also had to quit coffee, again, impact on anxiety. i am just a saint these days <sigh>.
as for tinnitus it seems like it got worse once i went on my first anti-d, zoloft, 18 years ago. however i had it previously from too much exposure to loud music - a rock n roll lifestyle back in the day. it got worse on the anti-d's and now even worse since getting of the C. not sure if its related to that or just the normal progression. i just hope i don't end up like pete townsend
