> My husband was on Cymbalta for about 6 months and he slowly weened himself off of them in December. He had the brain zaps you guys are talking about while weening himself off but when he stopped taking it completely he woke up and had vertigo and nausea. He ended up in the Urgent care where they ran a lot of tests and told me my husband either has a virus or multiple sclerosis. Since then, he's had every test you can imagine and almost all of them have come back normal. He has a follow-up MRI in July to follow up on the possible MS diagnosis. The only symptom he is having now is what he calls "twitching" throughout his body. Sometimes it's worse than others and sometimes it's almost non-existent. Has anyone else had any similar experiences??

> Thank you for all your input!>>I was on cymbalta for 6 WEEKS, so the twitching I experienced was only during the 2 weeks I was weening myself off. After that, no more.
If the docs have done all these tests, they would know if he's imbalanced on some nutrients. You can try Cal-Mag from GNC, and the vits I use are from NOW, the Eco-Green Multi without iron and then a separate iron supplement so I don't overdose on iron.
So I can't tell you if my symptoms stopped because they just did, or because of the vitamin regimine I was already on, and then added to. But it's worth talking to the doc to see if he could try vits.
NOW doesn't sell directly online, but they are listed online and give you a way to search for suppliers in your area.
Hope this helps, I know this site was a lifesaver for me when I found out I wasn't alone.
