I went off cymbalta in a taper method and it was the hardest thing i ever did. I did contact lilly I even have a scientist ex-friend that works there I contact. he is an ex because of me contacting him. I go zippo help and concern. Lilly thinks it is a GREAT drug. I had so many symptons I have had absence seizures, brain zaps, flu-like symptons, gastro problems that landed me in the hospitals, rashes two kinds one whelpy, one all over my legs, aches in my feet, legs, and hips. Blurry vision, memory loss, loss of sex drive, tingly feeling in legs, and ringing in the ears. Maybe more that I have forgotten. Ånyway, you get me drift. For some no withdrawals up to for some up to 9 months you still go epsiodes of withdrawals like de-toxing. My neurologist, I see for the seizures, says it takes time for the brain to begin remaking the three chemicals cymbalta takes over and how long that takes is individual. Also cymbalta lives in the tissue and the liver must rid your body of it and that is individual. You will recover 100% but it can take time or it can be quick like for others on this list. It has taken time for me. You can take benadryl which acts like SSRI in the brain for a sort period and will help and won't make you sleep. It will help you sleep. Take magnesium for sleep and it calms the central nervous system. Omega Three is good for depression, up to 4000 mg. start slow build up to this dose, and is used in Europe to treat depression. Also B-12 is good for the central nervous system too. This will help for now. Let me know how you are doing. Don't start exercise or anything unless you were already doing it. Your body needs rest not more stress right now. Take it easy if you can. RK
