In reply to Cymbalta withdrawal, posted by 2dzze on July 31, 2006, at 10:40:12
> I would think I have gone crazy if I hadn't found this board! I have been off Cynbalta for 4 1/2 weeks and it is killing me. I have been to 2 specialists in the last week and they both say the way I am feeling (severe dizziness) can not be from going cold turkey off of cymbalta. Both doctors say they haven't had any complaints of patients coming off the meds and any withdrawals would not last more that 5 days. I am having a MRI on Tuesday. How long is this nightmare going to last?
I think Effexor is probably worse, but in withdrawing from that, I would typically suffer significant withdrawal symptoms for about a week, with lingering symptoms for weeks, particularly dizziness. I'm sure Cymbalta differs somewhat, but the 5 day period mentioned sounds ridiculous.Todd
