both cymbalta and lyrica cause this.

I have a wierd new symptom that maybe someone knows about?
I have that "pins & needles" feeling (not new) that starts in my hand but now at times changes to a cold electric type feeling that radiates up my arm to my neck area. Then I get really dizzy and woozy for about 5 min. and gradually goes back to "normal".
I haven't changed my meds. really lately. I've cut down to Cymbalta 30-60 mg., very low,low dose of Lyrica, muscle relaxer on occasion, and Nucynta for P.T. only. I use a TENS unit about 1-2 times daily for 1/2 hr.
Any thoughts?

P.S. I have some other emotional issues going on but that's another post. A lot of that relates to a post by Bram in late March about feelilng isolated by all of this!
