Avatar n tn I'm guessing you're suffering Effexor withdrawal, not Cymbalta withdrawal. It's not impossible to get a withdrawal from a short stay on a med, but unlikely. Sometimes a med just affects someone more profoundly than one would expect. But given you just came off Effexor, that being one of the hardest meds to stop taking and one that can have long withdrawals, I'm guess you didn't successfully stop it slowly enough to prevent withdrawals.
Avatar f tn I stopped Cymbalta cold turkey 1 month ago.. I had taken it for 5-6 months... The brain zaps, what you are describing as electrical shocks running thru your body and brain, lasted for 3 weeks. Now I'm brain zaps free. The withdrawal torture can last for 1 month maybe a bit more depending on how long you've been on the medication.
Avatar f tn How long does it take for the withdrawal symptons to go away? I got off Cymbalta 5/31 and had severe reactions, my dr put me on Prosac for six weeks, it helped. But I have been off Prosac since 7/25 and am still having some pretty bad withdrawal symptons. Head and body aches, electric shocks, paranoia, my feet hurt really bad, it's hard to walk on them and my ankles swell every day. Does it ever get any better?
Avatar m tn So, now she is off the butalbital - cold turkey and says the withdrawal is hell. Does anyone know how long the withdrawal lasts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn If your hesitant about the sub, then dont use it. If you must use it, then use it sparingly and just to ease the withdrawal a little and help you through it. A little goes a long way with sub, so 25 2mg should be plenty.. prob more than enough... Its important that you know none of us are doctors and only you know what is right for you. Like worried said the best way is seeing a specialist who can help you with this..and dose you properly..
Avatar n tn m barely getting any sleep and I seem to be breathing shallowly. Even at this dose, could I be experiencing withdrawal symptoms? If so, how long can I expect this to continue?
Avatar n tn my doctor told me to stop taking the Cymblata. Any idea on how long it will take for my blood pressure to stabalize?
Avatar m tn Everyone is different, but for me, the withdrawal symptoms lasted about a week, and peaked in intensity about days 3 and 4! It really does depend on how much and how long, to estimate how strong and long your symptoms will be! If you haven't already done so, please check out the Thomas Recipe at the bottom of the page! There are vitamins and supplements that you can take which will help with the withdrawal symptoms! Drink tons of fluids like water and Gatorade to help flush your system!
Avatar f tn I don't know anything about Cymbalta but my post will put your unanswered question back to the top of the list. While waiting for a response, I suggest you supply details about your situation if you don't mind, such as how long you have been on it and reason to take, as that catches people's eye. Just my opinion though. What I would like to know is how do I "Add to watch list"?
