Anyone get "brain freeze" on Cymbalta. Feels like I drank a slurpee to fast! Does it pass? Been on it 1 month.

Not me. I was on 30mg one month, 60mg two months and back to 30 for one month. No brain freeze. My ears did ring, though.Marsha

Yes, mine passed after 6 weeks or so. It's very unpleasant, and you described it aptly!

Nope, I love it, but as you all probably know, I'm a weenie taking only 8mg. Confusion, ringing ears and a feeling of scalp and neck tension are usually a sign of too much NE which makes things confusing. NE is supposedly higher at low doses in Cym and serotonin is dominant at higher, so it's difficult to predict if lowering or increasing the dose would be better.
