Ernie Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi,I tried to stop Cymbalta for my stay at Mayo and starting on the 3rd day I was getting so dizzy that I had trouble walking and sitting. I don't remember if I had that symptom before staring to take it or if it is because I stopped it.Do any of you have stopped Cymbalta and what reaction did you have?

Rachel Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I haven't stopped Cymbalta yet, but I know that I had extra dizziness when I started the medication. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Morris Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi Ernie-I don't take Cymbalta, but I do take Effexor. I am weaning myself off. You cannot stop "cold turkey" or you will feel awful! I am weaning VERY slowly and I am still getting dizzy with it. I also am getting these "brain zaps" from downing the med. Nevertheless, I am down from 150mg. a day to now 37.5mg. a day. It's been over a month.I'd ask your doc. how to wean off or ask a pharmacist. There is also good info. on weaning off meds. online.Good Luck!Bshert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwic Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 "Brain zaps", that is the first time I've heard that term and it describes exactly a feeling I've had that I wondered if anyone else had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
