Whether it was just my determination to get off or the vitamin regimine I have been on for years, I don't know which to credit. Maybe both. Go to GNC and ask for a Cal-Mag mix, have at least one glass a day. I also did some physical labor when the zaps got real bad and I felt like strangling anybody for no reason. Find a good vitamin store (you could try GNC) and get an excellent multi-vitamin, E and fish oil. And lots of water to help flush your system. When you are off for a week, ask at the vitamin store for a body cleanse program, in addition to your daily vitamins. Continue to drink lots of water. My last day was May 22nd, and I've had no symptoms since after the 4th week (so about 3 weeks now).
Like I said, don't know what to attribute the success to, but I'm off for good.
> I have been tapering off of Cymbalta for the past 6 days. My last 30mg dose is tomorrow. I cannot wait to get off of this stuff and I don't plan on going lower. After tomorrow it's 0 Cymbalta and I guess I'll just have to suffer - suffer the same effects that I have read on earlier posts.
