Can someone explain the brain zaps that people get when withdrawing from Cymbalta? Mine are like a salt-shaker sound accompanied by momentary dizziness and a feeling of numbness around my mouth. Sometimes it happens with eye movement, sometimes with head movement. I thought I was going nuts, when this started happening, but as I have read about them, I feel so relieved that others have a similar experience.
DR BOB-can you explain the physiology of what's happening??? To others with them...what helps? I am doing a VERY slow wean...I plan to take 6 months if necessary.
Thanks everybody.
