I am so glad that I can help in any way. I know that when I was going through all those nasty withdrawal symptoms I was really scared and it was a relief to know that others had experienced the same thing. During my 4 weeks of hell I was always hungry too! I didn't really gain or lose weight while on cymbalta but I did gain 10 pounds during the last couple of months. I, too, craved carbs and discovered that carbs raise your seratonin levels in your brain and make you feel better for a short time. Honestly when I was withdrawing I didn't worry about diet I just did was felt good at the time in order to survive. Maybe that's why I gained the 10 lbs. I am happy to hear that you are not getting brain zaps; trust me you would know if you were -it is the weirdest thing I have ever felt and hard to describe. I did not have muscle cramps but did have insomnia. The benedryl helped more with the sleep than the dramamine but the dramamine helped for the nausea. I don't think either are habit forming; but not sure. Hope you feel better soon!
