I am so sorry to find that so many are having to endure the torture of withdrawing from this awful drug. It has been 4 weeks since my psychiatrist took me off Cymbalta "cold turkey" andI see no end in sight to the misery. Every time I think things might be improving, it rebounds and slaps me back down. I have experienced "brain shocks", severe muscle spasms, migraines, severe nausea, 15 lb weight loss, brain "fog", and electrolyte imbalance. I crashed so hard that I ended up in a locked psych ward for 8 days. My doctors are pointing their fingers at each other. My shrink is blaming me for my symptoms, saying a have conversion disorder or possibly somatization disorder. I have been out of work for the last 4 weeks because I have been unable to function. This drug is bad news. Good luck to all of you.
