In reply to Cymbalta withdrawal, posted by sdjeff on March 21, 2005, at 15:25:52
> I cannot take any cymbalta because of the headaches. Is there anything I can to to help ease this withdrawal?
You can have your doctor prescribe a few Prozac pills to help serve as a surrogate for Cymbalta. You might only need to take it for a few days. Because its half-life is as long as a week, it will leave your system very slowly and help prevent a withdrawal syndrome from developing.
If you don't want to go that route, try taking over-the-counter Benadryl or Claritin. Both are antihistamines that others report lessen the intensity of the withdrawal symptoms.
Are you taking any other medication?
