    I have been on Cymbalta for several years and my doctor started weening me off 3 wks ago. I am now having symptoms that I don't understand

Wanted to share this link with all of you. My doctor found it very helpful and enlightening. I shared it with firefighter1042 but didn't know how many people may miss it. I think it is important for our doctors to read this. Then maybe they might realize what we are going thru is real, and begin to trust what we say. My opinion, just fyi..

    Am trying to get off Cymbalta 30mg and wondering about brain zaps.

Hi Barney,


excellent - link works - thanks for that.


SOME doctors etc would be dismissive of what's on here because they would claim that those who had no problems obviously wouldn't bother, which is where the number of searches for withdrawal is fantastic.


My GP has been fantastic - feels bad that I've had to go through this. It would be a damned sight worse without a supportive doctor.


Maureen.

Well well well. Very interesting. Thanks for that link Barney. I might print that out and take that with me when I see my psychiatrist. LOL - haven't even got the referral yet! Still... I might give my regular GP a copy too.
