Hi there,
I really feel for you and I’m right there with you. It's a little over 3 weeks for me. I can tell you that the brain zaps are getting better. I still have motion sickness and take a homeopathic supplement for that. I try to exercise every day. It seems that when I sit still the withdrawal symptoms get worse. I need to work as well and get into a lot of fear about it, however, I know that ONE DAY I will be myself again. I respect that this a medical forum, but I also wanted to share that I am clean from drugs and alcohol for almost 6 years. I have been on Cymbalta for 5 1/2 years of my sobriety. So needless to say - I am REALLY feeling everything and it's not fun. The good news is that I feel everything. Okay I know I'm off on a tangent here, but I swear there is a point. I have been so uncomfortable with how I feel that I almost resorted to a drink - it's been that bad. However, I have not nor have I taken other meds to soften the blow of this detox - not that that's a bad thing - I just really want to be done with this.
I share this with you to express how much I understand how you feel. Chocolate has helped me. Now I'm not suggesting it, but I deserve a little prize. No?
I'm pretty much a raw nerve and wonder if that's one of the reasons I went on Cymbalta in the first place. My friends and I call it Gumball just for laughs. I'm making an effort not to make Gumball or the doc that prescribed it the enemies. It did work for a while.
I hope that you feel better.
PS. Dark Chocolate 70% Cacao or higher is the Sh*t!
