I am in need of help. I am currently tapering off cymbalta. I take the lowest dose 20mg once a day. The doctor had me skipping a day to now skipping 2 days. The widthdrawl symptoms are horrible. I have pains in my legs and hands, anxiety, IBS symptoms, night terrors, lack of sleep, seeing things that are not there, confusion, loss of time, brain zaps, I get dizzy and light headed, agitated, depressed, dazed and many other symptoms. I went to the emergency room at the hospital I work at for help. The ER doctor and nurse said they never heard of cymbalta and left me in a room for 4 hours to research cymbalta only to come back and tell me everything I already told him. Then both the doctor and nurse said I'm sorry nothing we can do for you but from the looks of everything I wish you luck your going to go through hell. 3 days later I was finally able to see my primary doctor and all she told me was nothing I can do for you but I need you to just go through all this until it's over with. Anyone know of something that's not another type of anti depression pill that I can take like natural supplements to help ease my symptoms???
