I agree with you, Doody. Except that Cymbalta didn't really help my pain and discomfort too much. It did cause me to have extremely vivid and disturbing dreams, and to have more violent thoughts as well. I stopped taking it after only five weeks, and even then the "brain zaps" you mentioned were pretty bad, and very disconcerting. I went cold-turkey for three days, then took one more pill, and since then I've not taken any. But even though it's been a couple of weeks now, I still get that feeling of something like static electricity shooting through my brain sometimes if I turn my head too quickly or move my eyes back and forth. Thanks for bringing this up. Now I know for sure that it wasn't just me.
