I asked my daughter's psychiatrist, and she said that she had never heard of any of those symptoms. (Needless to say, we are now looking for a new psych for her.) Afterward, I called my doctor, and he said symptoms last around three weeks. I had an allergy attack during my withdrawals and noticed that Benadryl helped with the "brain shock" feelings. Also, just in case anyone wondered, the withdrawals from the Cymbalta were a cake walk compared to the ones from Lexapro. I had taken Prozac when I was a teenager and don't remember experiencing anything like I have with either of these drugs. As far as controlling your anger, I don't know if it causes weight gain or not, but I hear Zoloft is wonderful for that....
