> For example: exercise something slow paced walking, swimming, add a good multivitamin, stay hydrated with sports drinks and water, if you have elevated blood pressure see if a doctor will treat you temporarily for that, if your diabetic watch your blood glucose levels closely, I had to eventually get phenergan from an ER doctor for the nausea. These things worked for me but I think the problem with the withdrawal from cymbalta is that besides the common issues it is also individualized and something may spring up on you that isn't as common with everyone else...most important is get educated about it and know it will end. That ole saying comes to mind "and this to shall pass"...good luck

>YES. Exercise but moderately, you will hurt either way, so you might as well get some endorphins going. I agree with everything Yvonne wrote, each case is individual based on what you need medically in the first place.
Make SURE your doc knows you are doing this, so he/she can be prepared for anything, may not happen, but it's better the doc is prepared.
And keep checking here, for messages and re-reading the posts. You are not the only one who is going thru this, has gone through it or will in the future go thru it. Most of the docs haven't got a clue when it comes to withdrawal off this drug . . . I'm not even sure they've been told, either.
I associated the brain shocks to my system coming back to life again, that made it easier to handle. I have decided life might suck at times (most of the time) but at least I want to feel it now, good, bad and ugly.
