Well I know I have not been on this drug as long as many of you but I was on 30mg and for 6 weeks. I went off cold turkey 10 days ago and it has been hard and it is still hard. My Dr put me on Cymbalta and Lyrica together to control some nerve pain I was having in my low back extending to my legs. Back was fused 20 years ago and rather than another surgery she seemed to think this combination of drugs along with celebrex and percocet would be the answer. Well it wasn't the side effects were horrendous, so first it was stop the Lyrica side effects still awful, next stop the celebrex.. still bad, then switch percocet for tylenol 4 still awful I kept telling her it was the cymbalta a drug I had never tried before and after 6 weeks of diarrhea I could not bring myself to put the cymbalta in my mouth. I threw it out right then and there. I am still having awful side effects. My Dr asked me to go back on and I said absolutely not.
Now for my question I am finding that I am having terrible vertigo, ear ringing and sharp little shock or pinch type feelings in the back of my neck also on 8 weeks of diarrhea, I figured since I was a short time Cymbalta user these would go away by now.
Any info out there on how long this should last?
