And another thing they DON'T tell you to start with is that Cymbalta only works for a few months, then you have to increase or move to something else! Why bother?

I'm glad you found something that works for the nausea, that's one symptom I didn't have. What helped me, although not a complete cure, was vitamins by NOW, Cal-Mag from GNC, benadryl to dull the zaps, lots of water to flush the drug out of the system, and some LIGHT exercise. I was so dizzy all the time I'd drop my phone instead of answering it, felt like I was walking on the edge of a cliff!

I will still get SOME symptoms when I'm overstressed and overtired at the same time, but otherwise they're all gone.

Thanks for the wishes on the new job! It's not just a new job, but a whole new field! I'll be working in the men's dept at our Fred Meyer, and I've NEVER worked retail before! I'm excited and nervous, but I know I'm not stupid so I'll catch on real fast. Hubby thinks I'll be bored in 3 months (probably), but I figure the bills need to be paid down, so I'll stick with it for as long as I can! Plus, can't beat the discounts!

> I totally agree ~ I will not take another medication unless my life depends on it! I am very angry that when my doctor put me on cymbalta for migraines she did not mention any of the side effects and withdrawal syptoms (even though I asked). I think doctors need to educate themselves on the medications they prescribe and we, as patients, need to not trust that they know everything. That is a lesson that I will never forget.
