I was on Cymbalta for 3 years after being on Prozac for 14 years and it quit working. I got to where I wanted to sleep all the time on Cymbalta and I couldn't feel anything - I couldn't cry. My P-doc took me off of it slowly (4 day ago) by cutting it down by adding 100 mg. of Wellbutrin at the to 30 mg. a day I had been taking and then after a month dropping the Cymbalta to 30 mg. for a month and then completely off the Cymbalta. I haven't had any Cymbalta in 4 days and I've had dizziness and strange feelings in my head - probably some people call them brain zaps. I knew what to expect from reading posts and I kind of like the brain zaps - they feel kind of cool. The nurse said to drink lots and lots of water to wash out the Cymbalta. I don't know were I go from here because all my aches and pains have come back and I'm missing the Cymbalta. I'm also having night panic attacks, which I don't like. I hadn't had a panic attack since I went on Cymbalta. I'm one of the few people who feel it's a great drug - for me at least.
