yolinda, Tennisplayer,

Hang in there - it WILL get better!

I have been off Cymbalta now for just over 5 weeks, and back at work for the last 2. A painful process (see my first couple of posts for the gory details!), and frustrating too - but I really do seem to be over the worst. Not completely, but 90%.

I still get mild "zapettes", my balance is still affected, I cannot type as accurately as before and my short-term memory is still wonky. But I am sure these will continue to improve. It was at least a month for me to get over Effexor, so I know about that one too!

I don't know if it actually helped, but I started exercising quite vigorously - cycing 20 miles, or walking 5 miles every day (then I got shin splints and a strained calf!). At least I felt it was doing some good.

Frankly I wouldn't bother with any pills, potions or programs - I think that they are a cynical means to extract cash from vulnerable / desperate people (which we all are while withdrawing from this stuff).

A good, healthy, normal diet, with plenty of liquids - including herbal teas instead of coffee - is all you should need (other medical conditions excepted).

Obviously the above is just my opinion as a "victim", not a "professional" in this field. However, I think that the "victims" have considerably more experience of the reality than the "professionals"!

Troy
