I'm having nausea, dizziness, headaches, and those surging "brain zaps". My doc had me go from 60mg to 30mg for four days, and then stop completely as of this past Friday. I'm going off of it so I can try an MAOI (Emsam). How long does Cymbalta withdrawal usually take? I have to go to work next week, and I don't know how I will function. My doc gave me Phenergan to help with the nausea, but it knocks me out for hours. Today is a little better than yesterday, but damn, this withdrawal is hardcore.
Do you think my doc took me off Cymbalta too rapidly? A few months ago, she had me stop taking Adderall cold turkey, and I became suicidal. In a few days, she is going to have me stop taking Wellbutrin XL with only a few days of tapering.
Any thoughts/insights/hugs would be appreciated.
