I cannot say how long it is that bad because I would have ended up in the emergency room with dehydration. I was vomiting so badly that I had dry heaves... I could not keep down water, gatorade, or anything.

What I finally had to do was dissolve a benzodiazipine in my parched throat, and after becoming drowsy enough, opened a capsule of Cymbalta and took a partial dose and went to sleep. It was the middle of the day. I felt all better when I woke up about 4 hours later. After that, I weaned myself of, being careful to not go too fast and wind up in that situation again.

I will say that even with tapering it slowly (6 months to get off of 60mg) it has been about two weeks since my last 2 granules of it, and my withdrawal symptoms are down to brief visual/vertigo phenomena a dozen times a day.
