When I stopped Cymbalta I suffered for over six weeks. It was WAY worse than going of methadone which I used for pain. I felt like my brain was mush and was constantly being zapped with electricity. I dreaded having to move my eyes at all. It was truly a horrific experience.

I swore I would never take Cymbalta again, but of course 7 years later I'm on it again. My PCP said there are meds that could be used to ease the withdrawal this time when I chose to stop it.

Good luck to you and feel better soon.
